I use that package outside Evil all the time. Any mode that clobbers the
shortcut I assigned to it (C-.) blocks my productivity a lot. That’s the
main reason why I don’t have flyspell active while writing emails.

It only works inside buffers, but with ido for changing buffers and
dumb-jump/xref support for jumping back after cross-file navigation, I
don’t need more. This jumping back after an explicit cross-file
navigation command is actually closer to what I need than what intellij
offers. I don’t want to go back to the buffer I selected via
switch-buffer, but if "find reference" takes me to another file, I need
a way to jump back.

Best wishes,
Arne
