How to use Lightspeed

Lightspeed is originally a vim plugin similar to vim-sneak or easymotion. See this issue for videos.

You can either assign a hotkey, or use it in combination with the Obsidian vimrc plugin:

exmap jumpToLink obcommand mrj-jump-to-link:activate-lightspeed-jump
nmap gs :jumpToLink<CR>

The idea and original code is from @kohane27.

The look of it when invoked can be modified with CSS. By default, it is:

.theme-dark, .theme-light {
  --jump-to-link-lightspeed-color: var(--text-muted);
}

Lightspeed is only supported in the new Codemirror 6 editor.
