vim-indent-guides VS vim-easymotion

nathanaelkane/vim-indent-guides - Visualize indent levels

My vim looks like most peoples, I guess. I have a few plugins to make things pretty, eg. LightLine and IndentGuides, and I use Syntastic for linting. I tried Ale but found it too annoying in practice.

Probably https://github.com/nathanaelkane/vim-indent-guides

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.
