Flash over sneak - vim mode navigation change

[Benjamin-van-Heerden]

Sneak is decent, but has never really become a go-to for me w.r.t. navigation
Back in my nvim days flash was probably my most used plugin, my muscle memory always firmly on the "s" key for getting where I need to be.
https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim is FAR superior to sneak IMO.

It doesn't just need to be two keys, once you are in "s" mode, type in anything you want and any place on the screen you want to go gets highlighted with a key, press it and you're there. In nvim it worked across panels too so it became a really efficient way to move between buffers and to the exact place you want to.

I agree. In fact I think sneak is my least favorite "jump" plugin. Been using Flash lately.

I actually meant flash - somehow I got them mixed up.

Edited the discussion to reflect this.

i actually prefer the leap motion
