vim‑sneak is a minimalist yet powerful navigation plugin for Vim, designed to jump to any location specified by two characters. It maintains compatibility with Vim's operators, macros, visual mode, repeat (.), and supports multibyte text. It provides intuitive highlights that disappear once the jump is completed. Sneak has <Plug> mappings for f and t 1-character-sneak. These mappings do not invoke label-mode, even if you have it enabled. Highlights matches in the direction of your search. Input is always literal (don't need to escape special characters).

Features

  • Jump to locations using just two-character sequences
  • Works with operators, visual mode, repeat (.), macros, and multibyte text
  • Highlights first match and additional matches; navigate cycles with ; or ,
  • Minimal friction: highlights and autocmds removed as soon as cursor moves
  • Optional “streak mode” for ultra-fast repetitive jumps
  • Simple configuration; label mode for minimalist overlays
