## What it is
EasyMotion is a Vim plugin that speeds up cursor movement by highlighting all possible jump targets for a motion and letting you press a single key to land on the target. It replaces counted motions like 5w or f{char} with fast, visual two-keystroke navigation.

## Use cases
- jump to any visible word with minimal keystrokes in vim
- replace counted motions like 5w with visual target selection
- quickly move cursor to a character occurrence on screen
- navigate long lines faster in vim
- improve vim editing speed for text navigation

## When to choose
- you use Vim or Neovim and want faster, more precise cursor movement
- you find counted motions like 12j or f{char} too slow or error-prone
- you want a configurable, well-documented motion plugin with dot-repeat support

## When to avoid
- you don't use Vim-family editors
- you prefer modern alternatives like hop.nvim or leap.nvim in Neovim
- you need a plugin with an explicit software license for compliance reasons
