hop.nvim VS quick-scope

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

Quick scope! https://github.com/unblevable/quick-scope but I don’t think it works in neovim. It’s the best

QuickScope makes jumping using f/F much quicker by highlighting letters/numbers you can jump to directly or in two jumps using F;/f;. Highly recommended: https://github.com/unblevable/quick-scope

Speaking of f and t, one of my favorite plugins is unblevable's quick-scope, which highlights letters to let you jump to any word within the line using f and t in three characters or less.

I almost never used them too until I added this plugin, it made it a lot easier and faster to navigate

quick-scope - with vim-sneak -> I am speed

quickscope / eyeliner (lua version of quickscope)

TL;DR: eyeliner.nvim is quick-scope but in Lua. Check it out!

I'm aware of quick-scope and the likes, but those provide hopping.
