vim-easymotion VS vim-textobj-user

vim-easymotion together with space as mapleader (let mapleader = "\" in your .vimrc) can open up a new world for you.

Why not sneak or easymotion?

I'm also on team no remap. I don't use hjkl anymore and instead have a nav layer bound to where hjkl would be when I hold a thumb key down. I also use https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion Bound to norm s.

Incredible that nobody mentioned vim-easymotion - totally necessary for me.

But have you tried https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion (I recommend let mapleader = "\").

By vim motions, do you mean native motions or extended motions with plugins like vim easymotion and vim sneak? Those are the two I've been trying out recently.

Been around since ~2012 via vim-easymotion as well: https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion

I second the suggestion of using a plugin like easymotion. https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion

For switching: I suggest you try easymotion. Basically it lets you jump (or I'd like to call it teleport) to anywhere on screen even across visible windows. I cannot imagine my workflow without it.

Using lazy, it throws the error 70% of the time. when it doesn't throw the error it works. but It uses a dependency (vim-textobj-user) and I already tested it (only using that plugin without other plugins) is not the dependency's fault.

Just to add to that, there are also various plugins that give you additional text objects, such as: - ii for indent levels (https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-indent) - iz for folds (https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-fold) - if for functions (https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-function) - ic for comments (https://github.com/glts/vim-textobj-comment) - User-defined text objects (https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user)

Thank you, kind vimmer. For others stumbling upon this issue, having same character around is not supported in textobj-user, but there's a workaround: https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user/issues/48.

The vim-wordmotion plugin extends the idea of words to include snake case and camel case words among other things. On a related note, the vim-textobj-user plugin lets you extend vim's understanding of text objects.

if anyone wants to use this, just make sure to also install https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user for it to work

I would highly recommend https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user. Specifically, you'd want to pair it with https://github.com/sgur/vim-textobj-parameter. Check the readme for other useful custom text objects, personally I think this is one of my most useful set of plugins

I NEVER use count, because my mental flow is drastically hindered by pausing for any form of counting in midst of editing; I stay off even relative numbers even. In their place, I enable a vast number of text objects instead, quite a few implemented through the `kana/textobj-user plugin`. Good text object are an embodiment of intent and thus map better mentally than any method using brute counting, even at the loss of some precision and speed.

[kana/textobj-user](https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user)

I would suggest using vim-textobj-user. Someone has already implemented a path object using this plugin. You can find this implementation here.
