EasyMotion

EasyMotion (GitHub: Lokaltog / vim-easymotion) by Kim Silkebaekken (who also wrote Powerline) helps make Vim's motions easier to visualise by highlighting the possible choices for motions like f:

It takes the <number> out of <number>w or <number>f{char} by highlighting all possible choices and allowing you to press one key to jump directly to the target.

The command to do this is <Leader><Leader>f. Also, <Leader><Leader>w triggers the word motion. This is all fully documented and easily accessible from the GitHub repository.
