clever-f.vim is a Vim plugin that extends the f, F, t, and T character-search motions so they can be repeated with the same key instead of ;. It adds features like target character highlighting, smart case matching, and customizable behavior.

Use cases

• repeat character search in vim without pressing semicolon
• make f/F/t/T motions repeatable in vim
• highlight all matching target characters in the current line
• undo a jump with F after f{char}
• smart case insensitive character search in vim
• free up the ; key for other mappings

When to choose

• you use Vim or Neovim and frequently navigate with f, F, t, or T
• you find repeating jumps with ; awkward and want f itself to repeat
• you want visual feedback via highlighting of jump targets
• you want to remap ; to something else

When to avoid

• you don't use Vim-family editors
• you prefer stock Vim motions and minimal plugin footprints
• you rely on default ; and , repeat behavior and don't want it changed
