A VS Code extension for faster editing

Hello there,
I have recently created a vscode extension which can help in faster editing by giving you a shortcut key to jump half distances from current cursor to either direction on a line.

If you like the extension then please share it with your folks. Reviews and suggestions are welcome.

Congrats on creating an extension for my favourite editor! But I have to ask what is the use case for this feature?

It can save some time and keypresses! It gives you a shortcut key to jump half distances from current cursor to either direction on a line.
In general you would use ctrl+(arrow keys) to jump which sometimes can take time when the line has lots of block/words, that's where the shortcut helps you.
