Ace Jump Mode

Ace jump mode is a minor mode of emacs, which help you to move the cursor within Emacs. You can move your cursor to ANY position ( across window and frame ) in emacs by using only 3 times key press. Have a try and I am sure you will love it.

What's new in 2.0 version?

In 1.0 version, ace jump mode can only work in current window.

However, this limitation has already been broken in 2.0 version. With ace jump mode 2.0, you can jump to any position you wish across the bounder of window(c-x 2/3) and even frame(c-x 5).
