Hopping Around NeoVim
I liked vim-easymotion
in plain Vim. hop.nvim
is the NeoVim equivalent.
I had to script the keybindings (with which-keys
so that they can be
displayed as keybinding hints in the UI, too). The rendering of the “hop spots”
is configurable and user-friendly by default. Hint-hopping is such a powerful
way to move around in Vim.



(In Solarized dark this time)
I installed hop.nvim
and registers its keybindings with LazyVim’s keybinding
config and which-key
for the group. In
~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/hop.lua
:
return {
-- `hop` is an EasyMotion-like plugin allowing you to jump anywhere in a
-- document with as few keystrokes as possible.
{
"smoka7/hop.nvim",
version = "*",
main = "hop",
opts = {
keys = "hklyuiopnm,qwertzxcvbasdgjf;",
},
keys = {
{ "<leader>hw", "<cmd>HopWord<cr>", mode = "", desc = "Hop to all words in the visible buffer; most useful!" },
{ "<leader>hl", "<cmd>HopLine<cr>", mode = "", desc = "Hop to the first column of each visible line" },
{
"<leader>hs",
"<cmd>HopLineStart<cr>",
mode = "",
desc = "Hop to the first non-whitespace character of each line",
},
{
"<leader>hv",
"<cmd>HopVertical<cr>",
mode = "",
desc = "Hop to each line, keeping cursor column position the same",
},
{ "<leader>h/", "<cmd>HopPattern<cr>", desc = "Validate search (`/`) with hints" },
{ "<leader>ha", "<cmd>HopAnywhere<cr>", mode = "", desc = "Hop anywhere" },
},
},
-- Register the `<leader>h` prefix as with a group name in which-key.
{
"folke/which-key.nvim",
opts = {
defaults = {
["<leader>h"] = { name = "+hop" },
},
},
},
}
