flash.nvim VS vim-sneak

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!

Why not sneak or easymotion?

I've tried leap et al, but I still come back to sneak, and use that plugin's standard mappings for s and S.

I don't like many Vim plugins, but I absolutely must have sneak: https://github.com/justinmk/vim-sneak

imo there are even few plugin authors who actually understand this well, and certainly no distro author does. Some of the few examples of good "vim philosophy" plugins are vim-sneak and vim-unimpaired.

Nice, but you've reinvented the wheel :) https://github.com/goldfeld/vim-seek -> https://github.com/justinmk/vim-sneak -> https://github.com/ggandor/leap.nvim

By vim motions, do you mean native motions or extended motions with plugins like vim easymotion and vim sneak? Those are the two I've been trying out recently.
