Jump anywhere with in text with Vim

I'm an beginner vim user and I installed VimFx add-on for Firefox in order to get used easier with it. And VimFx has this cool feature where when you press F you get a bunch of links where you can jump. And when you press the link's shortcut you get to that page. I want the same thing in Vim but to jump at that particular piece of text. I remember I say the same thing in Vim but I don't remember if there was a plug-in or if it was built-in. Like here:

enter image description here

Is that feature available for ViEmu for Visual Studio? And if yes, how can I enable it? Also is it possible to use Vim plug-ins with ViEmu?

Just a note, the f,F (and associated t, T) motions do exist by default on Vim (and most emulators), but there are limited to the same line.

See :help left-right-motions

As mentioned before, EasyMotion allow you to do a search on multiple lines.

That feature is inspired by a Vim plugin called EasyMotion.

As far as I know, there isn't a single vi[m] emulator out there that supports Vim plugins. Some emulators, like Vrapper for Eclipse provide their own implementation of famous plugins but that's how far you can go.

But if you want a definitive answer, read the ViEmu documentation.

Using a vi[m] emulator is a very poor way to learn Vim. Use Vim itself.

Installing plugins is also a very poor way to learn Vim. Learn the basics first.
