+# Summary
+
+EasyMotion provides a much simpler way to use some motions in vim. It 
+takes the `<number>` out of `<number>w` or `<number>f{char}` by 
+highlighting all possible choices and allowing you to press one key to 
+jump directly to the target.
+
+When one of the available motions is triggered, all visible text 
+preceding or following the cursor is faded, and motion targets are 
+highlighted.
+
+EasyMotion is triggered manually or by one of the provided mappings.
+
+Example:
+
+	<cursor>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
+
+If the word motion `w` is triggered with the default mapping 
+`<Leader>w`, the text is updated (no braces are actually added, the 
+letters are highlighted in red by default):
+
+	<cursor>Lorem {a}psum {b}olor {c}it {d}met.
+
+Press `c` to jump to the beginning of the word "sit":
+
+	Lorem ipsum dolor <cursor>sit amet.
+
+And that's it!
