😤 The Problem

Every terminal user knows this pain:

$ docker run -it --rm -v /home/user/projects:/workspace -p 8080:8080 myimage:latest
                                         ^^^^^^^^
                                    typo is here 😭

Your options?

Option	Reality
Press ← repeatedly	37 keypresses for one typo
Alt+B / Alt+F	How many words back? Who knows
Ctrl+X Ctrl+E	Opens full vim. For one character.
Retype the whole thing	😤

There is no way to just click where you want to edit. Until now.

✅ The Solution

termjump opens a lightweight inline editor right in your terminal.
Press Ctrl+E → the editor pops up → click any character → cursor jumps there → fix it → Enter.
