What is harpoon?
Harpoon is a Neovim plugin that provides fast navigation to frequently used files and terminals within a project. It solves the problem of repetitive file switching and terminal management by allowing developers to mark key locations and access them with minimal keystrokes. The marks are per-project, auto-updating, and editable, making it ideal for medium to large codebases.
Neovim users who work on projects with a set of frequently accessed files and need efficient terminal management. It's particularly useful for developers tired of fuzzy finders or manual buffer navigation.
Developers choose Harpoon for its persistent, project-specific marks and seamless terminal integration, reducing context switching. Its unique selling point is combining file and terminal navigation into a single, keyboard-driven workflow with auto-updating marks and tmux support.
