Jump vs Warp to X in cloaky ships
I'm a new player in Eve Online who generally is flying Covert Ops ships in nullsec for relic/data sites. Since I need to return to hisec regularly to sell my goods, I find myself constantly passing through camped stargates.
My question is about the safety of the 'Jump' option. Most of the forums posts I've seen regarding safe jumping typically reference "Warp to zero, then spam jump", which seems obsolete now with the "Jump" option (mentioned posts from 2012-ish).
Incidentally, many forum posts also advise for cloaky ships to "Warp to X" (where X is greater than 0) to avoid the 2km de-cloak and to slowboat--undetected--till 2500m where I can initiate Jump without being decloaked by the gate itself.
I'm looking for a more modern answer to the question: can a cloaky ship safely use "Jump" to leave a system?
I feel like I am constantly left waiting adjacent to the departing gate--decloaked and vulnerable--but I've never been locked (or even attempted). Is this lucky or a by-product from already having initiating the new session?

How do you jump a Cyno?
Right click on Black Ops ship, select jump ... or faster, radial menu on black ops, top option once cyno is up. The person who jumps does not need any skills except being able to fly a covert ops ship in case of black ops jumps. Also whether cyno is covert or not, does not matter.How do I make my ship faster in EVE?
As soon as you have clicked WARP you must engage the AB for 1 cycle (click it once to engage and then again so it flashes red). When the AB disengages at the end of its cycle you will enter warp almost instantly, since you are now doing more than 75% of your original speed.How do you warp faster in EVE Online?
Cynos are sometimes used for "cyno vigils" to remember eve online players who died in real life. If other pilots are aware of such an occasion, they usually don't attack those vigils out of piety.Eve Online - MWD Cloak trick - How to get past lowSec camps!
