mini.nvim VS clever-f.vim

This is essentially a tagline of mini.move.

Just as the others suggested, oil.nvim solves this outta the box. I freaking love it (here my config in case ya need it). Apparently also mini.files handles this by default

You mean backwards seeking text objects? You can get those with mini.ai https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-ai.md

I would like to offer you to join me in saying late greetings to this autumn with a release of mini.nvim version 0.10.0. It is mostly about introducing three (quite feature full, dare I say) modules and minor updates of existing ones.

Last night I cleaned up all the dead code in my config and realised that mini.nvim has to be the single best plugin that I've used. I have a couple of other favourites but this collection has been so consistently good that I wanted to give some thanks to the juggernaut that is u/echasnovski! Thanks for all the work you plugin authors and core maintainers put in to make this editor what it is <3

For example: I spent a lot of time configuring file tree plugins to have the same sorting as VS Code, tweaking their icons, etc. But then I realized I barely used the file explorer at all, and now I'm super happy with the minimal approach of mini.files. I had similar experiences with other plugins that were just adding "fluff" instead of the functionality I was looking for.

Around two weeks ago I've announced the release of mini.files - a file explorer module of mini.nvim with column view navigation and "edit text to manipulate file system" design. This resulted into a great feedback from the community, much of which turned into new features.

Looks like easy-motion makes buffer changes, but I didn't know about f/t mode for sneak. In sneak related there is also clever-f which looks like exactly what I want

You can try something like this https://github.com/rhysd/clever-f.vim

It's not exactly what you want, but try out clever-f. Instead of ; and , to go back and forth, you use f and F again. For example finding the 3rd a in a line, you'd press faff rather than fa;;.

clever-f plugin in my case.

clever-f works almost the way I want it to. (It extends f by highlighting, and then you repeatedly tap f to move to the next occurrence. You have to do something else before hitting f again to search for a new char.)

I'm using a QMK home-row mod keyboard and I used to have this issue as well. But turned out it helped me to be a better vim user since now I use better navigation methods. For one, J and K are mapped to 5J and 5K (as always). Then I used a plugin called ggandor/lightspeed.nvim to move to different locations. And I use rhysd/clever-f.vim for better horizontal movements.

Also consider clever-f to allow f and t to be repeated, or, for a bigger reshaping of your movements, [lightspeed](https://github.com/ggandor/lightspeed.nvim], which integrates clever-f among other.
