Description

This is a great feature that vim/nvim has, simple but really efficient, the name is: quick-scope. We already have 2 extensions that are doing the job:

  1. find-highlight has the perfect match of words as the original quick-scope but the performance is lacking
  2. quick-scope has a really good perfomance but lacks the perfect match of the first one

I would love to have this motion modification add to the vim extension, is really really helpful. thanks
