hydra.nvim VS flash.nvim

similar to hydra?

A Hydra mode to quickly manipulate and run cells

Possibly hydra, which everything from submodes to a more customized which-key. Works really well for making a telescope menu or a DAP mode.

The other way, that I use for some navigation functions is using hydra.nvim. You can basically create little 'submodes' to group related functionality with quicker mappings. Like after [hjkl] you can just hit hjkl to keep moving around, and then hitting esc or just any key not in the submode to leave it.

I use this function to exclude the currently focused floating window and ignore floating windows of some plugins (in this case only the popup from hydra.nvim is ignored):

There is also https://github.com/anuvyklack/keymap-layer.nvim used by https://github.com/anuvyklack/hydra.nvim

This suggestion and similar (like [[ and ]] to repeat latest target) did come up. I feel like that is the "responsibility" of something like anuvyklack/hydra.nvim or the (some time eventually) planned 'mini.nvim' alternative.

I installed hop but can't get used to it and just hold j/k/W/B as someone commented higher. Btw, for plaintext files this can be useful, even without hydra: https://github.com/anuvyklack/hydra.nvim/wiki/Quick-words

Of course, each case is different, but for making repeatable mappings there is anuvyklack/hydra.nvim. Or in some cases you can avoid this by choosing appropriate mappings (like Ctrl + arrows for window resizing which doesn't require repeating several keystrokes for a single operation).

I don't quite know what I am looking at in your screenshot (I haven't used emacs either though), but I use hydra.nvim and I can get a similar end result with it

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!
