  3. flit.nvim

    Enhanced f/t motions for Leap

    although I think I'll use https://github.com/ggandor/flit.nvim which promises to free up ; which would be quite nice

  4. lightspeed.nvim

    Discontinued deprecated in favor of leap.nvim

    lightspeed.nvim is just a godsend!

  5. vim-sneak

    The missing motion for Vim :athletic_shoe:

    I've tried leap et al, but I still come back to sneak, and use that plugin's standard mappings for s and S.

  6. substitute.nvim

    Neovim plugin introducing a new operators motions to quickly replace and exchange text.

    That one - https://github.com/gbprod/substitute.nvim . It is two plugins in one technically, substitute and exchange.
