This is a vim / sublime Easy Motion clone for Visual Studio. This extensions allows a developer to quickly and simply navigate through a file without having to use the mouse. Here is a simple example of jumping around in a standard Console application. Imagine the caret is currently positioned at the end of the using block and you want to move it to the 'C' in Console.WriteLine
Instead of moving your hands to the arrow keys or even worse, grabbing the mouse, simple initiate an easy motion search by pressing
Notice there is now a new margin at the bottom of the editor prompting you for a character to search for. You would type 'C' as this is the character you want to navigate to. The editor will replace all occurences of 'C' with a new letter (A-Z). At this point if you type any of the letters the caret will be moved to that location. In this case you type 'I' to move to the correct occurence of 'C' The caret is now at the start of 'Console.WriteLine' as we wanted at the start. No need for slowing down the coding experience with the mouse, your hands can stay squarely on the keyboard.
