Sounds like you could benefit from t/T/f/F/,/; which I use ALL THE
TIME for horizontal navigation. I find it pretty easy to eyeball an
infrequent letter and then type "2fj" to jump to the 2nd "j" after my
cursor. If I miss, it's just a ";" ("not far enough") or "," ("too
far") to continue in the corresponding direction.

I use them so often that it baffles me when I see people remap "," to
be their map-leader, throwing away such fabulous functionality. :-)
