hop.nvim VS leap.nvim

Personally I like to just hop using the hop plugin: https://github.com/phaazon/hop.nvim

I am using hop.nvim and hop.nvim works great most of the time except when I'm on an empty line. Suppose I'm editing this snippet and ^ represents my cursor

I waas thinking about something ala https://github.com/phaazon/hop.nvim to do fast selections, f.e.: -Entering visual mode or a specific mode -Search for f.e. 2 characters -Getting "hints" (like in vimium) for the matches -Being able to select and copy the hinted matches and being able to chose to either yank a line, a word, a url... etc

So I was previously using a bunch of plugins to be able to move between frequently used block delimiters "(){}...", things like Vim-matchup or Nvim-treesitter-textobjects. However, i had the sudden realization that what I was really doing was hopping between block delimiters most of the time, so I uninstalled all of them and created a keymap that works faster and requires only one plugin Hop.nvim, which I already use to obtain EasyMotion like movements. Here's the keymap, you can customize it to your liking to add common characters where you hop to (be careful as it is not a regular regex expression):

I prefer to use Hop with :HopWord. It just highlight every word in buffer. f({char}) ({char})

If you are interested in a plugin solution, there is HopPattern in https://github.com/phaazon/hop.nvim

Also I really like leap.nvim which in my opinion is the best thought out "hop" variation.

Your plugins are great but I haven't tried mini.jump2d. However, compared to hop.nvim I prefer leap.nvim's jumping philosophy because it uses information you already have before starting the jump, and you just have to type one "virtual" character, which in my opinion is a smoother experience.

Here's the repo if you haven't heard about it: https://github.com/ggandor/leap.nvim Otherwise, does anyone know if there are ways to emulate that behavior with existing keybings? And, if all else fails, would you like to see it as a feature request?

leap.nvim absolutely turned my movements and navigation experience in neovim upside down.

I like Leap

Another example. https://github.com/ggandor/leap.nvim Leap provides great paragraphs giving overviews of what it does and why it is designed the way it is, including some compare and contrast with other plugins.

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
