In a sentence like:

> While I was in the bath, **(suddenly / in a flash of genius / …)** I thought
> of a great plan.
>
> 風呂に入っている時に、 **____と** すごい計画を思いついた。

Is there a good [擬情語]{gijōgo} word to fill in the blanks with? Is something
like **パッと** okay?

question
word-requests onomatopoeia
What's a good onomatopoeia for “suddenly realizing, in a flash of genius”?
I think the most common (and versatile as well) one for us native speakers
would be:

  * 「ふと」 or

  * 「ふっと」

<https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/193987/meaning/m0u/>

「パッと」 is not a bad choice, either. It just sounds lighter and more
conversational than 「ふと」.

EDIT: 「はっと」 is also a common one.
