Avy is a GNU Emacs package for jumping to visible text or lines using a char-based decision tree, similar to ace-jump-mode and vim-easymotion. It provides commands like avy-goto-char and avy-goto-line for fast keyboard-driven cursor navigation.
Use cases
- jump to any visible character in emacs quickly
- navigate to a line without using line numbers
- move cursor to a word start with few keystrokes
- replace isearch with tree-based jumping
- emacs equivalent of vim easymotion
When to choose
- you use Emacs and want fast keyboard-only cursor movement
- you want a maintained successor to ace-jump-mode
- you prefer char-based decision trees over incremental search
When to avoid
- you don't use Emacs
- you prefer mouse-based navigation
- you need an editor-agnostic tool
