hop.nvim VS vim-visual-multi

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

vim-visual-multi has similar motions: in my mapping I go: ctrl+arrow_down > tab to enter selection mode > e to end of word -> y Although the pasting needs to be done to a block. Pasting to new document is ok though

vim-visual-multi (only the multiple-cursor support, I don't care about the other features)

I recommend this one https://github.com/mg979/vim-visual-multi

I know people say it's not necessary, but, for me personally, vim-visual-multi has been a vital part of my plugins and I use it QUITE a lot; maybe it's because I'm bad at Vim, but I basically can't live without the plugin

For 5. I think this is the usual multiple cursor plugin: https://github.com/mg979/vim-visual-multi It's a bit to learn and really powerful, but since it's a plugin and not a core feature it might not play nice with everything else.

I think I'm looking in the wrong place unfortunately, seems like the plugin I want to use (vim-visual-multi) may have issues with which-key 🙁
