# Neovim Flash Remote ## Metadata **Status**:: #x **Zettel**:: #zettel/fleeting **Created**:: [[2023-08-05]] **Topic**:: [[♯ Vim]] **Parent**:: [[Neovim]] ## Synopsis The Neovim plugin [flash.nvim](https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim) helps to navigate the code with search labels and enhanced character motions. The remote action, which default key binding is `r`, can perform an operator in a remote location. For example, I'm in a string and want to paste something elsewhere in the screen. - Use `yr` to start yank in a remote location. Use search labels to locate the cursor. - Now complete the the pending actions for the yank operator, such as `iw`. - The cursor is reverted to the original location. - Use `p` to paste the copied text.
