Do you (n)vim users really use plugins like Flash.nvim and Leap.nvim for navigating code as fast as possible? Or do you j/k lines and w/b?
The latter. I tried vim-sneak before and didn't find it particularly useful over using f/F and search motions. I've also tried something similar to flash.nvim and found it to be too noisy and require too much attention to be useful.
i use flash.nvim, i advice any neovimer to use it as well or just give it a shot for only a week because its such a QoL improvement
>>108543004If you can see the line it's going to be faster to 5j than to use a search feature. Search is for when you can't see the line.
>>108543004<num>j/k (with rnu) and then f<letter> or spam w/W until I get there.I tried easymotion but found myself eventually not using it at all, I'm yet to try flash.nvim, seems like a better alternative
>>108543634>If you can see the line it's going to be faster to 5j than to use a search featuredisagree, with flash you dont have to look at line numbers at all - only at the code, and it saves you some timealso you wont be working with a text that is at the beginning or end of a line so its even faster to use search
jk, wb, and search.I've literally never needed to go through code faster than this provides.
>>108543004In helix we have gw which is really good for going to something youre looking at, otherwise yeah its j/k and ctrl-d and ctrl-u for bigger movements. Im not totally familiar with nvim or vim but we also have ctrl-s to save our position then we can ctrl-i and ctrl-o to go into or out of that saved position. works for other open buffers and any major movement. Only downside of helix for most is that it doesnt have a plugin system and i dont think they plan to add one.
>>108544398>ctrl-s to save our position then we can ctrl-i and ctrl-oAre these like marks?>i dont think they plan to add one.Last I heard they're working on one. Is that on pause?
>>108543082>found it to be too noisy and require too much attention to be usefulThis. It shifts the focus from code to 2-3 letter combinations. I had to delete it.
>>108544407Judging by what ive just read its the same thing yes, its called the jumplist in helix, probably because it includes movements as well as manually added 'marks'. >Last I heard they're working on onei thought that was on pause since like 2023 but I could be wrong, I dont really check for updated though since ive gotten used to everything and it works fine for me.
>>108543004Using anything more than builtin options of vim is pure retardation, that also includes using nvim.
