About vim-flash

Like flash.nvim on IdeaVim

lets you navigate your code with search labels, enhanced character motions

Usage

Add the following code to your .ideavimrc file.

nmap s <Action>(flash.search) xmap s <Action>(flash.search)

Then you can use s and type the word you want to search for. The word will be highlighted in the editor.

Off course you can use other keybindings. for example map <leader>s <Action>(flash.search)

Enhanced Vim F/f/T/t/;/, Feature

New enhanced vim F/f/T/t/;/, functionality similar to classic vim f command:

" enhance vim f (find for char in characters to the right of the current cursor) nmap f <Action>(flash.find) xmap f <Action>(flash.find) " enhance vim F (find for char in characters to the left of the current cursor) nmap F <Action>(flash.find_backward) xmap F <Action>(flash.find_backward) " enhance vim t (till for char in characters to the right of the current cursor) nmap t <Action>(flash.till) xmap t <Action>(flash.till) " enhance vim T (till for char in characters to the left of the current cursor) nmap T <Action>(flash.till_backward) xmap T <Action>(flash.till_backward) " enhance vim ; (Repeat the last f/F/t/T search) nmap ; <Action>(flash.repeat) xmap ; <Action>(flash.repeat) " enhance vim , (Repeat the last f/F/t/T search backward) nmap , <Action>(flash.repeat_backward) xmap , <Action>(flash.repeat_backward)

This feature:

• Grays out text after cursor when activated • Highlights all matching characters after cursor with red background • Jumps to the nearest match automatically • Press 'f'/'t'/';' again to jump to next match • Press 'F'/'T'/',' again to jump to privious match • Press Esc or Backspace to exit search mode

Configuration

Find Settings -> Others Settings -> vim-flash to configure the plugin.

• 1. Characters: This This is the sequence of letters used in order of proximity from nearest to farthest between the match and the current cursor.

• 2. Label color: The first input box is the color of label text, and the second input box is the color of label background. • 3. Match color: The first input box is the color of match text, and the second input box is the color of match background. • 3. Match nearest color: The first input box is the color of match nearest text, and the second input box is the color of match nearest background. • 4.
