These commands let Avy act from a distance. There are three basic classes:

The commands avy-act-follow and avy-act-follow-in-new-buffer, which allow you to select a link to follow.

The commands avy-recenter-middle-at-line, avy-recenter-top-at-line and avy-recenter-bottom-at-line, which allow recentering at a line.

Extended functions, which allow you to do simple editing from a distance. These can be subdivided into three sub-classes:

The commands avy-act-on-position and avy-act-on-position-word-1, which act by selecting a position in the buffer through Avy, then apply a marking command like mark-word or mark-sexp, then apply a command to the marked region.

The commands avy-act-on-region and avy-act-on-region-by-same-function, which act by marking a region through either two avy functions or the same function applied twice, then act on that region by applying a command.

The commands avy-act-to-point and avy-act-to-point-in-same-line, which mark a region up to the current position of point using one avy command, then apply a command to that region.

The commands that are applied in extended functions can be chosen through keyboard shortcuts as they are in the current buffer, or through the avy-selection-command-map. When using avy-act-on-position or avy-act-on-position-word-1, often either a whitespace is missing or one too much remains is at the position where the action was performed. For this, another command can be applied to that position from the avy-act-post-action-map, which by default contains commands to insert a whitespace or delete a character.

Installation

Avy-Act is in Melpa. You can install it from there. Otherwise, just clone the repository, put it into your file path, byte-compile it and add (require 'avy-act) to your init.
