Vim9 Stargate

You can think of stargate as simplified modern alternative to easymotion for vim 8.2+. It uses popups windows to show hints, so it will not modify the content of your buffer and because of that linter plugins will not get mad. It is created for just one purpose - jump to any visible character in the current window without thinking of where your cursor is. Stargate do not support all the features of easymotion and will never do.

Motivation

There are few things that I miss in easymotion. First is already mentioned problem with linter plugins, and the second one is that if you are using non-English language in your code/text it makes harder to navigate in a buffer with easymotion, because jumping to non-English character requires switching your locale multiple times (first to choose this character, and second to go back to English and select a hint). Options section for g:stargate_keymaps describe how you can configure stargate to work with non-English text easier.
