Introduction *easymotion* *easymotion-introduction* EasyMotion provides a much simpler way to use some motions in vim. It takes the out of w or 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. ============================================================================== 2. Usage *easymotion-usage* EasyMotion is triggered by one of the provided mappings (see |easymotion-default-mappings| for details). Example: > Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Type w to trigger the word motion |w|. See |mapleader| for details about the leader key. When the motion is triggered, the text is updated (no braces are actually added, the text is highlighted in red by default): > Lorem {a}psum {b}olor {c}it {d}met. Press "c" to jump to the beginning of the word "sit": > Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Similarly, if you're looking for an "o", you can use the |f| motion. Type fo, and all "o" characters are highlighted: > L{a}rem ipsum d{b}l{c}r sit amet. Press "b" to jump to the second "o": > Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. And that's it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.1 Default mappings *easymotion-default-mappings* The default configuration defines the following mappings in normal, visual and operator-pending mode: Mapping | Details ------------------|---------------------------------------------- f{char} | Find {char} to the right. See |f|. F{char} | Find {char} to the left. See |F|. t{char} | Till before the {char} to the right. See |t|. T{char} | Till after the {char} to the left. See |T|. w | Beginning of word forward. See |w|. b | Beginning of word backward. See |b|. e | End of word forward. See |e|. ge | End of word backward. See |ge| . j | Line downward. See |j|. k | Line upward. See |k|. See |mapleader| for details about the leader key. See |easymotion-custom-mappings| for customizing default mappings. ============================================================================== 3. Requirements *easymotion-requirements* EasyMotion has been developed and tested in vim 7.3, but it should run without any problems in vim 7.2. Vi-compatible mode must be disabled. ============================================================================== 4. Configuration *easymotion-configuration* EasyMotion will work fine without any configuration, but you can override the default behavior by setting configuration variables globally in your |vimrc| file. Example (this will change the target keys and disable shading): > let g:EasyMotion_keys = '1234567890' let g:EasyMotion_do_shade = 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.1 EasyMotion_keys *EasyMotion_keys* Set the keys which will be used for motion targets. Add as many keys as you want. There's a lower chance that the motion targets will be grouped if many keys are available. Default: 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.2 EasyMotion_target_hl *EasyMotion_target_hl* Set the highlighting group for motion targets. You can override the default target highlighting by either changing this variable to another highlighting group (e.g. |ErrorMsg|), or by using |hi| to override the default syntax colors: > hi EasyMotionTarget ctermfg=green ctermbg=black cterm=reverse Default: 'EasyMotionTarget' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.3 EasyMotion_shade_hl *EasyMotion_shade_hl* Set the highlighting group for shaded text (see |EasyMotion_do_shade|). You can override the default shade highlighting by either changing this variable to another highlighting group, or by using |hi| to override the default syntax colors: > hi EasyMotionShade ctermfg=red ctermbg=black cterm=none Default: 'EasyMotionShade' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.4 EasyMotion_do_shade *EasyMotion_do_shade* The default behavior is to shade the text following the cursor (forward motions) or preceding the cursor (backward motions) to make the motion targets more visible. Set this option to 0 if you want to disable text shading. Default: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5 EasyMotion_do_mapping *EasyMotion_do_mapping* Set this option to 0 if you want to disable the default mappings. See |easymotion-default-mappings| for details about the default mappings. Note: If you disable this option, you'll have to map the motions yourself. See the plugin source code for mapping details. You usually shouldn't need to do this, see |easymotion-custom-mappings| for customizing the default mappings. Default: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.6 EasyMotion_grouping *EasyMotion_grouping* When there are too many possible targets on the screen, the results have to be grouped. This configuration option lets you change which grouping algorithm you want to use. There are two grouping algorithms available: * Single-key priority (value: 1) ------------------- This algorithm prioritizes single-key jumps for the targets closest to the cursor and only groups the last jump targets to maximize the amount of single-key jumps. This algorithm works recursively and will work with as few keys as two. Example (with |EasyMotion_keys| = "abcdef"): > x x x x x x x x x < The |w| motion is triggered: > a b c d e f f f f ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Direct jump to target ^ ^ ^ ^ Enter group "f" < * Original (value: 2) -------- This is the original algorithm which always groups all targets if there are too many possible motion targets. Example (with |EasyMotion_keys| = "abcdef"): > x x x x x x x x x < The |w| motion is triggered: > a a a a a a b b b ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Enter group "a" ^ ^ ^ Enter group "b" Default: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.7 Custom mappings *easymotion-custom-mappings* EasyMotion allows you to customize all default mappings to avoid conflicts with existing mappings. First, it is possible to change the default key of all mappings to another key or sequence. It is also possible to fine tune this plugin to your need by changing every single sequence. 4.7.1 EasyMotion_leader_key *easymotion-leader-key* Set this option to the key sequence to use as the prefix of the mappings described in |easymotion-default-mappings|. Default: '' 4.7.2 Custom Keys All custom mappings follow the same variable format: > EasyMotion_mapping_{motion} = {mapping} Example: > let g:EasyMotion_mapping_f = '_f' let g:EasyMotion_mapping_T = '' See |easymotion-default-mappings| for a table of motions that can be mapped and their default values. Note: The leader key defined by EasyMotion_leader_key is not prepended to your customized mappings. You have to give full key sequences. ============================================================================== 5.
