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)
