## What it is
Sneak is a Vim/Neovim plugin that adds a motion for jumping to any location specified by two typed characters, working across multiple lines, with operators, visual mode, dot-repeat, and macros. It also offers an optional label-mode as a minimalist alternative to EasyMotion.

## Use cases
- jump to any occurrence of two characters in vim
- navigate code faster without full search
- delete or change text up to a two-character target
- repeatable cursor motions with ; and ,
- label-based jumping like easymotion but minimal
- move cursor to next match of a short string

## When to choose
- you use Vim or Neovim and want fast two-character jump motions
- you want operator and dot-repeat support for jumps
- you want a lighter alternative to EasyMotion

## When to avoid
- you don't use modal editors like Vim or Neovim
- you need full-text fuzzy finding across files rather than in-buffer motion

## Facets

- maturity: stable
- function: editor, developer-tools
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools
