flash.nvim VS better-escape.nvim

I came across this term in https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim but couldn't figure out how to use this Search method.

flash.nvim supports jumping to treesitter nodes by labels(just like leap does for searching text). You might want to give that a try and see if it fits your needs.

The new plugin from Folke https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim has enhanced f, t, F, T motions and tons leap motions features!

There actually is one plugin, namely flash.nvim, which does something roughly in that direction for search; as soon as you type a unique string it jumps you to the respective location. https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim

return { -- https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim { "folke/flash.nvim", event = "VeryLazy", opts = { labels = "asdfghjklqwertyuiopzxcvbnm", }, config = function(_, opts) local flash = require("flash") flash.setup(opts) _G.flashnav = { jump = function () flash.jump({ search = { mode = "search"}, }) end, jumptoline = function () flash.jump({ search = { mode = "search", max_length = 0 }, label = { after = { 0, 0 } }, pattern = "^" }) end

-- Plugins require("lazy").setup({ -- Motions [https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim] "folke/flash.nvim", event = "VeryLazy", ---@type Flash.Config opts = {}, keys = { { "s", mode = { "n", "x", "o" }, function() require("flash").jump() end, desc = "Flash", }, { "S", mode = { "n", "o", "x" }, function() require("flash").treesitter() end, desc = "Flash Treesitter", }, { "r", mode = "o", function() require("flash").remote() end, desc = "Remote Flash", }, { "R", mode = { "o", "x" }, function() require("flash").treesitter_search() end, desc = "Flash Treesitter Search", }, { "", mode = { "c" }, function() require("flash").toggle() end, desc = "Toggle Flash Search", }, }, })

I just released a new plugin!

For me it's better-escape.nvim -> Escape from insert mode without delay when typing

max397574/better-escape.nvim - i use jk/kj for insert mode so this makes it smoother

I'm trying to install https://github.com/max397574/better-escape.nvim in a separate file in .config/nvim/lua/plugins.

I just tested a probably hacky and unintentional way around this, but better-escape lets you remap sequences in i-mode to do kinda whatever. In the 'keys' key of the config table, it defaults to '' but I changed it to ':wi' and it seems to work. Don't want to be the person that tells you to rely on this for some big project without serious testing though.

I could use better-escape.nvim so that there's less probability of clashing. Not sure how practical so that it's 100% no clashing. I never have any clashes with jk.

Maybe try the better escape plugin and set the escape key in that plugin to ":w!".

I like using better-escape.nvim as it removes the delay that you get with using a mapping. You can certainly use a mapping for it, but it's much more comfortable with this plugin.

I also use "jk", like a tons of people I think, additionally I installed this little plugin that make the experience veeeery smooth: better-escape
