Jump to next semicolun

Question

I can use fd to jump to the next d character. How can I jump to the next semicolun? f; doesn't seem to work. Also, for other special symbols.

Thanks

It should work. Do you have a mapping overriding it? Check :map f and :map f;. If there's nothing there start vim with vim -u NONE <file> and try again. If that works than you have something in your configuration, probably a plugin, interfering with the default behavior. — B Layer, Apr 2, 2018 at 12:16
There is something, not sure what it means. s f <SNR>92_yank_with_key("f") — aclowkay, Apr 2, 2018 at 12:58
That's a Select mode mapping. Are you seeing the problem in Normal mode or Select mode? If the former, what does :nmap f show? Regardless, I see a plugin called vim-yankstack that has a similar looking mapping that is applied dynamically: smap <expr>' key '<SID>yank_with_key("' . key . '"). There is also a Normal mode mapping along the same lines. If you are using this plugin it seems like a good place to dig further. — B Layer, Apr 2, 2018 at 13:17
Try :echo g:yankstack_yank_keys. If there's a result and it contains "f" (the default does not) then that's a probable cause. — B Layer, Apr 2, 2018 at 13:23

I had a similar problem a while back. As a temporary solution you can use /;, and then use n.

This will search for ; and jump to that position
