## What it is
A Neovim plugin for fast code navigation using search labels, enhanced character motions, and Treesitter integration. It lets users jump to any visible location by typing a search pattern and selecting a label.

## Use cases
- jump to any word on screen with a couple of keystrokes
- select a specific Treesitter node and its parents
- enhance f/t/F/T character motions with labels
- jump to matches while searching with / or ?
- perform motions in other windows or remote locations

## When to choose
- you use Neovim and want faster, label-based navigation
- you want Treesitter-aware text object selection
- you want highly configurable, extensible jump motions

## When to avoid
- you don't use Neovim (requires Neovim >= 0.8.0 with LuaJIT)
- you prefer minimal setups without extra plugins

- artifact type: plugin
