Vim-clap is a modern, performant fuzzy finder plugin for Vim and NeoVim that offloads heavy computation to a Rust backend binary (maple) while keeping the editor as a lightweight UI layer. It offers many built-in providers, tree-sitter highlighting, and support for writing custom providers in Vimscript or Rust.

Use cases

• fuzzy find files in vim
• search project text quickly from neovim
• replace fzf.vim with a faster rust-backed picker
• jump to tags and buffers with fuzzy matching
• write custom vim providers for project search
• grep-like live search inside the editor

When to choose

• you use Vim or NeoVim and want a fast fuzzy picker with a Rust backend
• you want built-in providers plus extensible provider support
• you want tree-sitter highlighting and fzf-like search syntax in your editor

When to avoid

• you need a fully tested Windows experience
• you prefer a pure Vimscript plugin without external binary dependencies
• you use an editor other than Vim/NeoVim
