Describe the feature
In VSCode's vim emulation you have an easymotion mode that allows you to type in
<leader><leader>motion
Then instead of doing that motion regularly, it will pull up easymotion which works like this

Related: Helix editor just added something similar based upon Amp's "jump mode" in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/8875. I tend to agree with the reasoning behind this implementation...
While testing that PR we made the following observations:
- character based jumps (which require a character before tying a label) don't really hold their water, you can use f for simple cases and / (which we want to improve further) for complex cases. Compared to a jumpmode these commands work with multicursors.
- word base jumps can be useful for quickly repositioning the primary cursor.
- a simple implementation like in AMP without dimming, color changes and complex letter assignment based on distance, ... was not only a lot simpler to implement but also more predictable/less disruptive
Please consider the vim leap, other seem to mention it as well, https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/4934#issuecomment-2059780379
I tried all the popular jump plugins and settled on pounce.nvim.
In contrast with label-based options, it allows to type a target word and do the jump. I find it more natural as I don't need to read into random chars but immediately start typing as I already know the word.

How did you manage to install this plugin into Zed?
