How do I quickly jump to any location with two characters?

Explanation

vim-sneak provides a motion that lets you jump to any location specified by two characters. It is faster than f because it works across lines.

How it works

• s{char}{char} jumps forward to the next occurrence of those two characters
• S{char}{char} jumps backward
• ; and , repeat the motion forward and backward

Example

To jump to the word function from anywhere visible, type sfu — this jumps to the first fu in the buffer.

Tips

• Install: Plug 'justinmk/vim-sneak'
• More precise than f because two chars narrow the matches significantly
• s replaces the built-in s command (use cl instead)
• Can be configured to highlight all matches like EasyMotion
• Works as a motion with operators: dsab deletes to the next ab
