## What it is
Leap.nvim is a Neovim plugin that provides fast, precise cursor motion via labeled jumps, letting users navigate anywhere on screen with a few keystrokes instead of the mouse. It is the successor to leap-style plugins like EasyMotion and lightspeed, written partly in Fennel.

## Use cases
- jump to any visible word in neovim with few keystrokes
- replace mouse navigation in vim
- move cursor to a specific location quickly
- vim motion plugin for fast cursor movement
- navigate code without arrow keys
- label-based jumping in neovim

## When to choose
- you use Neovim or Vim and want fast keyboard-only navigation
- you want a modern, actively maintained motion plugin
- you liked EasyMotion or lightspeed but want better ergonomics

## When to avoid
- you don't use Vim-style editors
- you prefer a modal-free editing workflow
- you need an IDE with built-in mouse support
