Leap.nvim: Neovim’s Answer to the Mouse

• avy

  30 1,662 1.8 Emacs Lisp

  Jump to things in Emacs tree-style

from the readme:

> it maps possible futures, and shows you which key(s) you will need to press before you actually need to do that.

In the preview gif it's showing the matched hintkeys LIVE as you search.

I think this is actually a huge different in UX. I'm using the emacs equivalent in avy, avy-goto-char-timer[1], and that small pause between searching and acting (typing the hings) makes the experience jarring enough that I don't want end up using goto-char-timer in motions that much (only for jumping across windows and panes)

With no delay between and , the UX of d is much smoother

• hop.nvim

  46 2,401 2.9 Lua

  Neovim motions on speed!

I use hop[1] to jump horizontally. Hop can also be used with any other commands like v, d, c, y etc.

And generally if I know where I want to go, I would just search with / instead of doing jjjjjjjjj

• tmux-jump

  3 313 0.6 Ruby

  Vimium/Easymotion like navigation for tmux.

I got stuck on a job in Dubai (Government client - they also had us work in trailers on-site - no remote access allowed) with a Remote Desktop jump host where the mouse didn't have any pass-through to my terminal session - which mean I had to work for 8 hours a day without any ability to select/copy/paste with a mouse. I had tmux-installed on the remote hosts and for the next three months, select/cut/copy/paste/resize panes/etc... were done without a mouse. Seven years later, I've never once used a mouse with tmux since then. https://github.com/schasse/tmux-jump is the equivalent plugin that lets you jump anywhere you want on the screen.

• targets.vim

  48 2,508 0.0 Vim Script

  Vim plugin that provides additional text objects

You might benefit from targets.vim, it works well with your thought process. It adds a bunch of new really useful editing targets (which should be builtin imo).

• vim-oscyank

  23 570 4.8 Vim Script

  A Vim plugin to copy text through SSH with OSC52

> Cut and paste

If your terminal supports it (iterm, kitty, later versions of gnome-terminal and others) this osc52 plugin is really sweet. It even works over ssh.

• vim-textobj-user

  25 1,424 0.0 Vim Script

  Vim plugin: Create your own text objects

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.

• vimium-c

  18 3,053 9.3 TypeScript

  A keyboard shortcut browser extension for keyboard-based navigation and tab operations with an advanced omnibar

Vimium C (https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c) supports link hinting by simply typing a few characters of the link you want to press. It also searches the actual url and alt-text for links without text (such as buttons and icons). I found it by accident looking through its settings and it has by far been the best improvement to my browsing experience since discovering tabs.

  Discontinued A guide to using Lua in Neovim

That is a lua expression I believe (which only works in neovim, hence this plugin being neovim only), you can convert your vimrc to init.lua or make a lua block in your vimrc. The "lua<https://github.com/nanotee/nvim-lua-guide#using-lua-from-vim...

• neovim

  1,383 76,256 10.0 Vim Script

  Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  

Bram is consistently updating vim and recently shipped 9.0 which introduces Vim 9 Script. I would say that there is a line being drawn in the sand more distinctly now, though. Those that adopt the new vim script will probably stick with vanilla vim and neovim's team has no plans at this time to support it [1]. And all these lua plugins are only compatible with neovim.
