NrrwRgn VS fzf.vim

Throwback to a real classic: narrow region

I lean a fair bit in the opposite direction. If a sort is any more complex than -n or -k, I tend to vipe¹ my sort in my editor.

It feels great when you can use narrow-to-region² to perfect a complex address or write a custom function with all your editor's power at your fingertips. With the sad, but obvious, drawback that the changes aren't linked in your disjoint shell and editor history.

² Nowadays, that is more likely https://github.com/chrisbra/NrrwRgn for me.

NrrwRgn ?

chrisbra/NrrwRgn - Opens focussed part "region" of the buffer

On a more general level, Christian Brabandt's re-imagining of emacs' region narrowing can be a great work to work files that contain complex embedded strings.

Much like the emacs feature it is useful outside this specific use case too, and it can be a great way to perform heavy edits without needing to care about boundaries and such.

Wow! It's like https://github.com/chrisbra/NrrwRgn with steroids! Good job!

https://github.com/chrisbra/NrrwRgn might work. Narrow the region to that of only the script and change the filetype (:set filetype=typescript) of the narrowed regions buffer (it will open a separate window, with its own buffer) to that of the server you want and then do :Lsp start. Haven't tried it myself as I do not write any html with embedded script.

My use case is somewhat similiar to https://github.com/chrisbra/NrrwRgn and maybe i could tweak it to actually do it, but i feel it's not quite there. I'd like to still se the other regions of the code while editing.

Fuzzy Finder: fzf.vim (for its speed) along with telescope.nvim (for its ecosystem)

And added my keyboard shortcuts.

There are two plugins allowing us to use fzf in Vim: the native fzf plugin directly installed with fzf, and fzf.vim. The second plugin is built on the first one.

You might be interested in installing the fzf-vim plugin [0]. It has a user-defined command :Maps which can be used to search through all keybindings (you can also do this with just :nmap in vim, but the fzf interface is much nicer). It also provides :Commands. This behaves remarkably like VSCode's command palette.

You'll also need https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim (which is imo the only vim plugin that's a must).

I do all my file operations from the command line. But to open and search files I use fzf

Regarding plugins , I am using https://github.com/Donaldttt/fuzzyy because it works in windows, unlike https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim

There's a :Buffers command in fzf.vim that I use extensively. It opens a fuzzy-find window with all open buffers in a MRU list.

Thanks to fzf.vim and fzf-lua, everything I learned and copied is from them.

they're likely referring to fzf.vim, the vimscript plugin from the original fzf author that wraps around fzf. there's also fzf-lua nowadays.
