> Even with this post, as an experienced Vimmer, I could basically do everything they are doing here, without installing any plugin and remembering all those obscure keystrokes.

I thought so too[1], but I am willing to give the blog author the benefit of the doubt (that Avy is the fastest way). It also seems to me that with Avy the process is a little more uniform and consistent than the way I would do it in Vim (only a little, though).

[1] In Vim, I would do the Filter->Select->Act cycle as *'/<pattern>qq<modify-pattern><esc>q'* and then use 'n@q' for each modification, or 'nn' to skip to the next modification.

For simple patterns (for example, adding a parameter to a function call) I won't even bother with the recording, I'll do a flurry of 'n.' or 'nn'.
