Learn-Vim VS vim-unimpaired

And this comprehensive guide: https://github.com/iggredible/Learn-Vim

As far as books go, Pro Vim helped me a lot. I also really like Learn Vim on Github You might already have a program called vimtutor that walks you through Vim basics.

I am learning through this repo. you can try out.

I found this extremely useful to learn Vim https://github.com/iggredible/Learn-Vim

I first tried the wrong way to learn Vim: memorizing keybindings. That's not helpful at all.

Write way to learn Vim: understanding Vim "grammar" as this repo teaches.

(macro snippets taken from here)

If you want to learn more about buffers, windows, and tabs, check out this chapter from my Vim book: Ch02 - Buffers, Windows, and Tabs (it's free!).

I've been watching this repository, and since the previous release the attention, and number of issues, has exploded! It looks like there is a ton of demand for a faster vs-code style editor that runs natively and cross-platform. Lapce now has more stars than https://github.com/iggredible/Learn-Vim or https://github.com/audacity/audacity , and I think it leads in number of stars for text-editors implemented in Rust.

I don't think it moves blocks, but I utilize the venerable vim-unimpaired for basic text movement (and for inserting empty lines from normal mode).

vim-unimpaired gives a mapping for that for ] (and [ to insert an empty lines above the cursor).

I use https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired for this.

Is it possible to install a Vim plugin (like https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired/tree/master)?

HJKL for movement, then mapped arrow keys to this (requires unimpaired): " Normal mode: indent or move line nmap [e nmap ]e nmap << nmap >> " Visual mode: indent or move selection vmap [egv vmap ]egv vmap >gv

Just now I was looking at the manual entry for vim-unimpaired, since I couldn't remember the incantation for swapping two lines. (It's ]e and [e for swap forward and swap backward.)

Switch buffers with :b or the ]b [b bindings from unimpaired.

and a nice toggle remap that I found here to edit Markdown without conceal: vim.keymap.set("n", "tc", ":setlocal =&conceallevel ? 'conceallevel=0' : 'conceallevel=2'", { desc = "[T]oggle [C]onceallevel"} )

imo there are even few plugin authors who actually understand this well, and certainly no distro author does. Some of the few examples of good "vim philosophy" plugins are vim-sneak and vim-unimpaired.

https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired. I still use it a lot and it’s one of the few remaining vimscript plug-ins I have. It is also quite slow to load. It would be fantastic to have a Lua equivalent.
