### Improved f and t search behavior
|
||||
|
||||
With evil-snipe you can define your own search scope for `f` and `t` searches which means that you won't have to jump to the correct line
|
||||
before searching with `f`/`t`/`F`/`T`. And after you have found a match, you can just press `f` or `t` again afterwards to continue the search. No need to use `;`/`,`.

### Two-character search with s

|

With the buttons `s`/`S` you can do a simple search like `f`/`t`, but instead of searching for one character, you search for two. This makes the search about 50 times more precise than regular `f`/`t` searches. While you can search forward or backwards in the buffer with `/` and `?`, `s`/`S` are much easier to reach, does not require you to press enter and is precise enough for very many common purposes.

### Symbol groups
|

|
||||
With symbol groups you can let a char stand for a regex, for example a group of characters.
|
||||
By adding a pair of `'(CHAR REGEX)` to the list `'evil-snipe-symbol-groups` you can search for a regex very simply.

`'evil-snipe-symbol-groups` you can search for a regex very simply:

In the first example below we set `[` to mean all characters `[({` so a search `sa[` would find both `a[`, `a{` and `a(`.
|

In the second example, we set the char `:` to mean a regex matching python function definitions so searching `f:fff` you can quickly cycle through all function definitions in a buffer!
