Individual jacks can be mapped to hot keys as user sees fit.

From your remote Jenkins, Jenkins Jack will pull, parse, and provide Pipeline steps as auto-completions from the Pipeline step definitions (GDSL).

Any groovy file in the editor will have these completions. This feature can be enabled/disabled via Settings by searching for Jenkins Jack.

Jenkins Jack works by hooking into the user's running Jenkins instance via the Jenkins Remote API. Before you can use the plugin, you must fill in the extension settings to point to a Jenkins host(s) in settings.json:

"jenkins-jack.jenkins.connections": [
    {
        "name": "localhost",                            // "name" can be seen in the host selection command
        "uri": "http://localhost:8080",
        "username": "drapplesauce",


        "password": "217287g126721687162f76f387fdsy7",  // gen API token via <your-jenkins>/user/<user name>/configure
                                                        // E.g. http://127.0.0.1:8080/user/drapplesauce/configure

        "active": true                                  // Indicates the active jenkins host you're connected to.
                                                        // Also set via host selection command
    }
]

You can get to this via the Settings UI (ctrl+,) and searching for Jenkins Jack Connections.

Currently, there are no hard guidelines defined for feature requests, bugs, or questions since I have no idea what I'm doing. These will become more defined as interest in the project increases or something something.
