hop.nvim VS telescope.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

for telescope.nvim (optional) live grep: ripgrep find files: fd

Here we have a configuration for telescope.nvim, a very popular fuzzy finder.

EDIT: I found what I was looking for https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim and https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim

Fuzzy Finder: fzf.vim (for its speed) along with telescope.nvim (for its ecosystem)

Just landed on Telescope.nvim: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/pull/2572

This extension allows you to use the power of ast-grep to find code patterns in your editor, using the familiar and awesome interface of telescope.nvim.

telescope.nvim

My solution is using telescope.nvim with lsp extension, and map the vim.lsp.buf.definition keybinding to telescope one https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim
