Java how to jump to end of line

#1

Hi, im aware you can use the End button (on windows keyboards) to jump to the end of the line but is there a way so that if there is a semi colon at the end of the line it teleports the caret(or the pointer) to the position just before the semi colon
e.g
imagine pipe | is the cursor when you press End rather than getting this:

System.out.println();|

you get this:

System.out.println()|;

Thanks,

A similar question was asked on SO, and the answer could probably be adapted to your needs quite easily

This is from the link u sent(I altered it)

import sublime, sublime_plugin
class MoveToEndOfLineOrStartOfCommentCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit):
        new_cursors = []
        for cursor in self.view.sel():
            cursor_end_pos = cursor.end()
            line_end_pos = self.view.line(cursor_end_pos).end()
            if self.view.match_selector(line_end_pos, 'semi-colon'): 
                new_cursors.append(sublime.Region(self.view.extract_scope(line_end_pos).begin()))
            else:
                new_cursors.append(sublime.Region(line_end_pos)) # use default end of line behavior

I tried but im not sure if “semi-colon” is right or how to make it jump before the semi colon

help pls

you can find the scope name by putting your cursor just before the semicolon in your Java file, then go to the Tools menu -> Developer -> Show Scope Name
