Question regarding vertical movement

• nop.vim

  2 0 0.7 Vim Script

I had this simple plugin to disable a mostly keys that lead to anti-stuff between vim and neovim (yes I use both) and I have unmapped j k now.

• lightspeed.nvim

  47 1,559 4.0 Fennel

  deprecated in favor of leap.nvim

• hop.nvim

  46 2,407 2.9 Lua

  Neovim motions on speed!

• nvim-ufo

  33 1,967 8.2 Lua

  Not UFO in the sky, but an ultra fold in Neovim.

Folds might be helpful, they also allow to jump to the next fold with zj, depending on how you setup the folds and what kind of file you are editing, they might just do the trick. (and have a look at https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-ufo which makes folds much nicer imho)

• tagbar

  31 6,081 4.7 Vim Script

  Vim plugin that displays tags in a window, ordered by scope

  

Also not that useful for text files I think, but I sometimes use something like https://github.com/preservim/tagbar to get an overview of the structure of the file, especially in unfamiliar documents. This is a quite old plugin of this nature that depends on ctags, there are more modern plugins that depend on treesitter. However for C++, I found the treesitter based bar plugins not as helpful, they need language specific settings, and the ones I tried didn't have them for C++ at the time.

• hydra.nvim

  30 986 0.0 Lua

  Create custom submodes and menus

I installed hop but can't get used to it and just hold j/k/W/B as someone commented higher. Btw, for plaintext files this can be useful, even without hydra: https://github.com/anuvyklack/hydra.nvim/wiki/Quick-words

• sj.nvim

  9 122 5.0 Lua

  Search based navigation combined with quick jump features.

This is what I do. I think searches are very reliable, keeps your eyes on the target and can be pretty much always used for vertical movements. The only thing I do is augment the regular search with something like https://github.com/woosaaahh/sj.nvim , so if I search for a target that has a lot of occurrences in the file, I can get to it directly.
