Like flash.nvim on IdeaVim

Standalone Jump	f, t, F, T, ;, ,

Usage

Add the following code to your .ideavimrc file.

" Search for string in visible area and jump
nmap s <Action>(flash.search)
xmap s <Action>(flash.search)
" enhance vim f (find for char in characters to the right of the current cursor)
nmap f <Action>(flash.find)
xmap f <Action>(flash.find)
" enhance vim F (find for char in characters to the left of the current cursor)
nmap F <Action>(flash.find_backward)
xmap F <Action>(flash.find_backward)
" enhance vim t (till for char in characters to the right of the current cursor)
nmap t <Action>(flash.till)
xmap t <Action>(flash.till)
" enhance vim T (till for char in characters to the left of the current cursor)
nmap T <Action>(flash.till_backward)
xmap T <Action>(flash.till_backward)
" enhance vim ; (Repeat the last f/F/t/T search)
nmap ; <Action>(flash.repeat)
xmap ; <Action>(flash.repeat)
" enhance vim , (Repeat the last f/F/t/T search backward)
nmap , <Action>(flash.repeat_backward)
xmap , <Action>(flash.repeat_backward)

Then you can use s and type the word you want to search for. The word will be highlighted in the editor.

You can also use f to find a character to the right of the current cursor position, highlight all matches to the right, and press f again to jump to the next occurrence of that character. If you want to find a character to the left, use F. Similar enhancements are provided for other commands like t, T, ;, and ,.
