What this calls “leaping” is my main way of navigating in Vim. It’s nothing more than a fancy name for Cmd-F, but used constantly as an alternative to the mouse or arrow keys for navigation; most programs’ find dialogs are way too obtrusive and slow for that.

The Mac’s original father envisioned a radically different machine than what Apple shipped in 1984. Then Canon gave him the chance to do things his way. f-st.co/lfY6HYm

Yeah, I mostly navigate via search and Ctrl-U / Ctrl-D for jumping up and down half a page at a time. I find going up and down by a full page to be too disorienting since I need to refocus all the way from the bottom of the page to the top. Ctrl-U and Ctrl-D are way more natural.

I do something like that, but I remapped half-page moves to Ctrl-K/Ctrl-J, and mapped 5 line moves to Shift-K/Shift-J. That way I can easily switch between different movement speeds (when I’m not searching, that is).
