A quickjump layer - initial queries

That would be awesome!

Do you know if there is anything similar in Spacemacs? We aim to strive to as close of a keybinding match as we can, but if it's not present there, then we just make our own :)

I think it would make sense under SPC s which is currently +specs, but should probably be +search. This does bring up where to move testing though 🤔 (or perhaps combine them with +search/specs)

Not sure about Spacemacs, but Spacevim has bound 'f f' to find file which I don't agree with as you can't use f to forward-find a character anymore! They have defaulted to use SPC SPC f <character> instead - which brings up easymotion. Also - three keystrokes to invoke easymotion doesn't make it any easier :).

SPC s makes sense - however how about keeping tests in it's own layer but under 'SPC t' and binding easymotion to SPC s? What else do you have in mind for the search layer? I don't believe I have the know how right now to combine layers, but I'll have a look over the next few days. Keep up the good work.

p.s. can't seem to add labels - so you can mark this as discussion when you have time.

Sorry for the slow replies lately!

Hmm, yeah it would probably be best to have it on something that's quickly accessible. SPC t is current inhabited by +toggle.

How about a making it a top-level binding, meaning it activates directly after SPC + whatever key, preferably without moving anything we currently have - something like SPC d, which is neither used in SpaceNeovim or Spacemacs, and is conveniently on the home row?

Just for easy reference in this discussion, these are the current top-level bindings,

and Spacemacs, for inspiration,

I've just pushed 32db36a, which adds vim-easymotion on SPC d, and some other navigation commands under SPC N.

Let me know if there's anything missing, and then we can reopen the issue (or just make PRs to change the behaviour 😃 ).

Spacemacs (see doc) uses SPC j j and SPC j J for 1-char and 2-char jumps, respectively. I suggest we use the same, and also map SPC j w to easymotion-overwin-w, SPC j l to easymotion-overwin-line, etc.

@ytang I've made an initial PR at #45, let me know if you have any comments or wishes for more there!

Thanks a lot! I did not see this notification. Will update my layers.
