Leap.nvim
leap.nvim is a Neovim motion plugin and text navigation tool designed for keyboard-driven cursor positioning. It enables users to move the cursor to any specific character visible on the screen using short keystroke sequences.
The plugin identifies target characters within the current viewport and assigns disambiguating labels to multiple matches, allowing for precise cursor relocation without the use of a mouse.
Features
- Motion-Enhanced Character Jumping - Enables jumping to a specific character on the screen using short label-based keystroke sequences.
- Keyboard-Driven Code Navigation - Implements high-speed, mouse-free navigation using character labels and sequences.
- Neovim Plugins - Provides an extension for Neovim that implements character-based jumping motions.
- Navigation Motions - Extends Neovim with efficient text navigation via short keystroke sequences.
- Cursor Target Labels - Provides unique character labels to disambiguate multiple matching target characters on the screen.
- Cursor Position Mapping - Provides high-efficiency cursor repositioning relative to visible on-screen content.
- Absolute Coordinate Jumps - Implements absolute cursor positioning by calculating target line and column coordinates.
- Buffer Offset Mapping - Calculates absolute cursor positions by translating relative character offsets within the visible window buffer.
- Viewport Search Constraints - Scans only the visible viewport area to identify candidate characters for jumping.
- State Transition Sequences - Uses a sequence of keystrokes to transition between search, selection, and relocation states.
- Motion and Navigation - Standardizes label-based navigation in Vim-like editors.
