I've been learning Vim for a while, and one situation has been coming up a lot for me:

1) I'm scrolling through a sourcefile, and see an interesting word I'd like to edit or yank.
2) I look left at the line number of the word, and type [line number]G
3) I keep pressing w/W/b/B until I reach the word, (except if the word happens to be the first or last word of the line, or located near a unique symbol)

However, this feels inefficient (especially step 2), and I'm hoping to find a better solution.

I like PreciseJump: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3437

If you like PreciseJump, you'd probably also like EasyMotion: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3526 (or  https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-easymotion)

    In my opinion it is more complete than PreciseJump; it does everything PreciseJump does and more...
