clever-f.vim VS neovim

Looks like easy-motion makes buffer changes, but I didn't know about f/t mode for sneak. In sneak related there is also clever-f which looks like exactly what I want

You can try something like this https://github.com/rhysd/clever-f.vim

It's not exactly what you want, but try out clever-f. Instead of ; and , to go back and forth, you use f and F again. For example finding the 3rd a in a line, you'd press faff rather than fa;;.

clever-f plugin in my case.

clever-f works almost the way I want it to. (It extends f by highlighting, and then you repeatedly tap f to move to the next occurrence. You have to do something else before hitting f again to search for a new char.)

I'm using a QMK home-row mod keyboard and I used to have this issue as well. But turned out it helped me to be a better vim user since now I use better navigation methods. For one, J and K are mapped to 5J and 5K (as always). Then I used a plugin called ggandor/lightspeed.nvim to move to different locations. And I use rhysd/clever-f.vim for better horizontal movements.

rhysd/clever-f.vim: Extended f, F, t and T key mappings for Vim.?

Also consider clever-f to allow f and t to be repeated, or, for a bigger reshaping of your movements, [lightspeed](https://github.com/ggandor/lightspeed.nvim], which integrates clever-f among other.

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
