NrrwRgn VS vim-repeat

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.

which requires vim-repeat to be installed but otherwise silently does nothing extra.

Do you have vim-repeat? I think sneak should work with that.

e.g. in vim-surround you could just do something like ysiw_ to make a word italics or ysiw*w. (assuming you also have vim-repeat).

vim.keymap.set("n", "dj",require"dap".step_over). However, I have not had any luck with registering this with vim-repeat. I have tried following the solution here, but nothing seems to happen. Also, the README in the vim-repeat repo only gives an example of use with a mapping, which is not my case. I don't think this is specific to nvim-dap in particular, so has anyone been able to add dot repeat functionality to any lua function?

Hi all, I just wanted to share a short gist I wrote for plugin authors on how they can incorporate dot-repeat functionality directly into their plugins, without external dependencies like vim-repeat. In general, I'm open to any suggestions about writing style or content; I just wanted to share some things that I wish I knew when I started writing nvim-surround. Cheers!
