LeaderF is an efficient fuzzy finder plugin for Vim and Neovim that helps locate files, buffers, MRUs, tags, gtags, and more on the fly. It is written in Python, supports fuzzy and regex searching, and offers an optional C extension for over 10x faster fuzzy matching.
Use cases
- fuzzy find files in vim
- search buffers and recent files quickly
- navigate code with ctags and gtags
- live grep search inside vim with ripgrep
- fuzzy search lines, help tags, and command history
- switch between windows and quickfix entries
When to choose
- you use Vim or Neovim and want a fast, full-featured fuzzy finder
- you need tag/gtags-based code navigation
- you want regex as well as fuzzy search modes
- you need an extensible finder with community extensions
When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Vim/Neovim
- you prefer a Lua-native plugin like telescope.nvim in Neovim
- you cannot install Python support in your Vim build
