evil-snipe VS avy

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

evil-snipe: fast 2-char search, optionally overrides f/F and t/T to work on multiple lines

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 ";").

What I'm looking for is something like AceJump for IntelliJ IDEs or avy for Emacs. These tools let you navigate to some part of the visible text with just a few keystrokes. Here's the behavior I would like in Obsidian, copied from AceJump's page:

For my emacs friends, here's a wonderful package that provides the same functionality: https://github.com/abo-abo/avy

And, if you're interested in some historical context for this "type characters and jump to point" functionality, the Canon Cat: https://youtu.be/o_TlE_U_X3c

Personally I've learned to do things the "Emacs way" and got used to its killing behavior. For multi-line stuff I would mark the region and then use navigation commands to get the point where I want it. For more complex scenarios I use either C-s/C-r or just use avy to get the point where it needs to be. For single line stuff I think M-z works well. Maybe this package could be useful to you as well? Just some ideas, I think there are actually many options here (including going over to evil ;) and it depends on your preferences and needs.

I make extensive use of avy for these kinds of situations.

Avy (avy-move-line) can do it very nicely and interactively for you, see this video.

It sounds like avy is what you're looking for?

Perhaps avy. I would use the commandavy-goto-char-2 then type N a and the corresponding jump key (if it appears). avy-goto-subword-1 is a bit more niche but might also work well.

I'm jumping around on the screen using -> https://github.com/abo-abo/avy#avy-goto-char

This UX does not break my flow (it doesn't require focus/conscious thought):

  1. Press  +  while looking at the place I want to jump to

I installed a package called avy which can do anything I have no issues whatsoever. If you're interested here is my very simple config. There are several options, I like the one with the timer.
