Question 1

How to install and set up flit.nvim with Leap?

Accepted Answer

Install via a plugin manager like packer.nvim, then call `require('flit').setup()` in your Neovim config. Ensure leap.nvim and repeat.vim are installed first, as they are required dependencies.

Question 2

Is flit.nvim deprecated, and should I still use it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the README states it's not maintained anymore, and the author recommends using Leap's built-in `:help leap-ft` instead. For new setups, it's better to avoid flit.nvim due to lack of updates.

Question 3

flit.nvim vs clever-f.vim: which is better for repeating motions?

Accepted Answer

flit.nvim integrates with Leap for labeled targets and multiline support, while clever-f.vim focuses solely on repeat motions. If you value visual feedback and Leap integration, flit.nvim was better, but since it's deprecated, clever-f.vim might be a more stable choice.

Question 4

Can I use flit.nvim without the Leap plugin?

Accepted Answer

No, flit.nvim explicitly requires leap.nvim to function, as it builds on Leap's interface. Attempting to use it alone will result in errors or broken functionality.

Question 5

How to disable labeled targets in flit.nvim?

Accepted Answer

In the setup function, set `labeled_modes` to an empty string or adjust it to specific modes like 'n' for normal mode only, based on the configuration options provided in the README.

Question 6

What are the best alternatives to flit.nvim now that it's deprecated?

Accepted Answer

Use Leap's built-in `:help leap-ft` motions, which offer similar functionality. Other options include plugins like hop.nvim or enhanced native Vim motions with custom mappings for multiline jumps.
