leap.nvim VS 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

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

I use it as my mapping for leap.nvim (https://github.com/ggandor/leap.nvim), but I only map for normal and help buffers, since mapping it in every buffer type messes up things like quickfix lists and file trees.

One really cool plugin I use to move around quickly otherwise is hop.nvim, but it's not exactly the same as mastering the vim basics of relative jumps.

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

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

I found it really useful to use together with mini.jump2d (or other similar jumping plugin, like phaazon/hop.nvim) to jump to a location in map window and then focus back (with to accept current source location or to go back where you started). No mouse needed :)

I use hop[1] to jump horizontally. Hop can also be used with any other commands like v, d, c, y etc.

And generally if I know where I want to go, I would just search with / instead of doing jjjjjjjjj
