None. I just use relative numbers to jump to the row I want (I may use H, M, L to get close first) and then I use w, f, t etc to move horizontally. That way I have the muscle memory to jump around effectively even if I'm on a minimally configured vim (for instance on a server). I feel like leap or similar plugins would ruin that muscle memory. I never really understood harpoon. If I do something that requires me to jump around a bunch of locations I just set up some uppercase marks. That also doesn't require any plugin.
@@RapLyricalVideos I'd do mA, mB, mC, mD to mark the locations, then 'A, 'B, 'C, 'D to jump back to them. I guess I don't have the menu, but I don't really feel I'm missing much... I usually set these up for the task at hand so it's all kinda temporary. I'm not going to forget which is which. And I often set a Z mark as a sort of anchor point when I'm about to embark on some exploration of the code and I want to be able to quickly jump back where I started.
Nice, thanks for the tip. I navigate horizontally using the default "f" then ";" but the single character I can type is not good enough for me. So I'll try this.
@@orian7688 yeah, and also Leap is confusing because sometimes the cursor makes random jumps before the objective. Flash is the best option IMO, but I prefer using the vim native behavior (?/ ctrl-g ctrl-t)
I have been using leap for a long time, it is one of my favourite plugins and I don't think it get's better, but let's see what you tell us about the others! One thing I noticed was that the "search area" is being greyed out, this does not happen for me. Maybe it is because of my colorscheme (?).
@@ascourter I am using "catppuccin/nvim". But I think it may be better afer all if the search area is not greyed out for me because that could hurt readability.
Mr Andrew how can I render images in neovim there is a plugin image.nvim I have followed its instructions i use kitty but I am still unable to do it please make something on it.
Thanks for your request! I went down a rabbit hole of trying to get image rendering to work in the terminal but it didn't work out since I use tmux. I will dig more into this and hopefully get a video on doing this in neovim without tmux and see what I can come up with.
Leap is predictable compared to to others that I’ve tried. In Leap you’ll always press the first two characters of a word. And when you know exactly where you want to move to, you don’t have to think, this leaves you with way less marks to think about, just the tie breaker.
@@rtalexk In hop.nvim, I just use the word jumping. When I need to jump to a specific word, I look at that word and double press on leader key, then type 1, 2 or 3 chars to jump to it, just have to think once. As you describe the leap.nvim, each time you need to jump, you type first 2 chars, and then press something one more time to jump, that's more complicated.
What techniques / plugins do you use for fast jumping?
Harpoon by ThePrimeagen
@@RapLyricalVideos do you use that to jump between buffers or to specific locations within a buffer?

The whole mini.nvim library is incredible. mini.files and mini.clue and best-in-class in my opinion.
Nice. This is on my list to explore more after hop.nvim
I was using easy motion before, i liked it
Welcome back thanks for the vid!
Thank you!
Nice video! Thanks! Looking forward to flash.nvim video
Nice, thanks for the tip. I navigate horizontally using the default "f" then ";" but the single character I can type is not good enough for me. So I'll try this.
I personally prefer using the default / ?
I find more comfortable typing the whole word than guessing the random char that leap/flash will prompt.
flash.nvim is similar to leap but allows you to type as many letters as you want

Came here to say this. Glad it's not just me @@aquepaique
Thanks for sharing! I definitely get this and have had to train my muscles not to type the word when using leap.
It would be great to know if a plugin works well within macros. Will give it a try, but definitely need to find a good alternative for `s`.
Oh good question. That's something I can think about with upcoming videos. Thanks!

What is the plugin that highlights the first letters in words after pressing f or F?

@@ascourter Thank you!
Nice video, I switched from leap to flash, check it out. No more s and S, with flash s jumps forwards and backwards
Nice, I'm experimenting with flash this week!
Also for me visual selection is not working
Thank you! I'm glad it's not just me
Does your config work with golang? Or how can one make it work?
I haven't setup golang yet, it's on my list to configure and I'll be sure to create a video on it!
@@ascourter yeah I’ll be waiting for it, and probably a video explaining how you exactly can setup basically everything for any language + dap.

I am gonna call you "Quick Draw Cody" now haha
@@ascourter I accept this title
combine things like oil.nvim and leap.nvim in the future, or others
