Leap: Neovim’s Answer to the Mouse
Hm - I can't see how this is functionally significantly different than EasyMotion[1] or Sneak[2]. Not a knock on it - just curious if I'm missing something.<p>My problem with these types of plugins is that, although it's a bit more annoying to type out a few more characters, with my vanilla Vim workflow I can <i>pre-compute</i> the motions in my head - I can figure out I need to type d7l or whatever way before I get to the point in my editing where I need to, and as I'm typing it out I'm already thinking about what I want to do next. With sneak, easymotion, or leap, it looks like I can't actually figure out what keys I need to press to get to where I want until I've already started the motion. That means I need to take some time to read the label, etc. So maybe I've saved a few milliseconds of not having to type one or two more keys, but I lose that and more by having to parse what to do.<p>Curious about other experiences and if I'm off base though.<p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion</a>
