Jumping to the word starting with letter #425

Greetings!

I've recently switched to Vim from Emacs. In Emacs, as well as in the Intellij products family there is a plugin called AceJump (or AceJumpLite).

It has a killer feature that allows you to press <Leader> + <any character you want to search> to create labels for all words that start with the specified character. It's pretty great, because in most cases I feel like I don't need to jump in the middle of word, so on average I only need to press 3 keys to jump everywhere (leader + letter + label for word).

For example, here I pressed <Leader> + t: image

(easymotion-s2) has very similar behaviour and results, but I'm not sure whether it's that efficient, because it captures a lot of stuff, so on average I need to press 4 keys (leader + letter + letter + label). Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to find any command that allows me do the exact same thing as in the screenshot.

Is there one in EasyMotion? If not, are there some good (or even better) alternatives?

Thanks in advance!

Try nnoremap <Leader> :<C-U>call EasyMotion#User('\V\<'.escape(nr2char(getchar()), '\'), 0, 2, 0)<CR>. (Untested.)

@zsugabubus wow, magic. It works. Even without <C-U> part. Thanks!
