A Vim plugin that always-on highlights a unique character in every word on a line, helping you use f, F, t, and T motions to move across a line in two or three keystrokes. It introduces no new motions or mappings, instead making vanilla Vim character motions easier to target.

Use cases

• highlight target characters for f and t motions in vim
• move cursor to any word on a line in fewer keystrokes
• improve vim left-right navigation speed
• avoid guessing which character to target with f motion
• learn to use vanilla vim motions more effectively

When to choose

• you use vim's f/F/t/T motions and want visual hints for targets
• you want faster horizontal movement without learning new plugins or mappings
• you prefer tooling that reinforces vanilla vim skills

When to avoid

• you use other editors or neovim setups requiring lua-native alternatives
• you dislike any automatic highlighting while editing
• you rely on alternative motion plugins like easymotion or leap
