leap-spooky.nvim seems like it can potentially save you thousands of keystrokes. It’s kind of a mind-blowing plugin. Here’s a cheat sheet, since I found it a bit difficult to remember the keystrokes. When the keystroke includes leap, that means to start the leap movement for a word (type the first 2 letters of the word you want to yank or move). One tip I found useful is to keep your eyes on the word you’re targeting, because otherwise you will have to look over the page and ignore all the other leap targets, which puts a workload on your brain.

• yrr-leap Yank a line to the current line

  • yRR yank a line from another window to the current line, use capital R’s
  • 1yrr-leap yank a line and its succeeding line to the current line:

• yss-leap copy a line

  • ySS-leap copy a line from another window, use capital S’s
  • 2yss-leap copy a line and its succeeding line

• ys-leap copy from the current word up to a later word

• yriq-leap copy the contents of any quoted string to the current position

yriw-leap Copy any visible word to the current position

• Copy the word after another word to the current position: 2yriw-leap

• ymiw Copy any word just to the clipboard

  • 2ymmiw Copy the word after another word to the clipboard

To use textobjects, start off with yr or ys and then use a textobject pattern to operate on textobjects at a distance. ys(ir|ar|iR|aR|im|am|iM|aM|iq|aQ)-leap}.
