# Introduction
|
|
|
|
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 by one of the provided mappings.
|

# Important notes about the default bindings
|
|
|
|
The default bindings may conflict with other plugins you have installed,
|
|
e.g. Command-T. Please read the docs about the default bindings, it's
|
|
easy to rebind the EasyMotion keys or rebind the leader key in order to
|
|
"namespace" the plugin.
|
|
|
|
You can rebind the leader key in your vimrc:
|
|
|
|
let g:EasyMotion_leader_key = '<Leader>m'
|
|
|
|
All the motions will now be triggered with `<Leader>m` first, e.g.
|
|
`<Leader>mt`, `<Leader>mgE`. You can also remap single motions:
|
|
|
|
let g:EasyMotion_mapping_t = '_t'
|
|
let g:EasyMotion_mapping_gE = '_gE'
|
|
|
|
## Usage example
|
|
|
|
Type `<Leader>w` to trigger the word motion `w`. When the motion is
|
|
triggered, the text is updated (no braces are actually added, the text
|
|
is 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.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, if you're looking for an "o", you can use the `f` motion.
|
|
Type `<Leader>fo`, and all "o" characters are highlighted:
|
|
|
|
<cursor>L{a}rem ipsum d{b}l{c}r sit amet.
|
|
|
|
Press `b` to jump to the second "o":
|
|
|
|
Lorem ipsum d<cursor>olor sit amet.
