- johncoltrane 14y agoI've tried it and didn't like it at all. The main problem is how it replaces the letter I'm searching with another unrelated one, making all the matches practically unreadable. To me, at least. set incsearch and /foo ?bar are more than enough for my needs.
- dedward 14y agoEasyMotion is really only good for getting to something you are staring right at on the screen.... I want to go THERE.. not meant as a general search or anything like that... and doesn't help get off the screen, for sure.
- amadeus 14y agoBasically what dedward said before me. EasyMotion is not for searching, it's for moving the cursor deliberately to a place onscreen where you need to make an edit.
- johncoltrane 14y agoYes, I know. Searching is how I move to where I want. It's a lot less confusing to me than EasyMotion's logic, it's consistent whether the word I want to jump to is visible or not and it's a native feature. Well, I was curious when it was released so I've used it for a couple of weeks and found it horrible and confusing. Obviously many people like it so let's say it's a matter of taste.
