## What it is
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

- artifact type: plugin
