    I think evil-snipe is pretty similar. Maybe avy-goto-char-2 is also worth a look?

    If you want to minimize the number of times you have to press ';', the evil-snipe package lets you the same thing with a 2 character search instead of one. So with that package installed, if you have a line containing "HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK" and you want to get to the 'e' at the end of 'response', you'd press se., and your cursor goes right to it. (The package is included in Doom Emacs and is maintained by the same developer.)

    If you install evil-snipe, it'll take over the S key for quick 2-character searching. (How often does anyone use the substitute command anyway?). It also makes the T and F commands work better (You can repeat searches by just pressing the key again. So you'd avoid having to use a modifier to reach "," or ";").
