Vim VS vim-repeat

I find the Vim extension for VS Code has macro support that is good enough for most of my use cases (if you’re a fan of Vim key bindings - obviously).

https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/blob/master/ROADMAP.md#repe...

that's why I just use https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim if I have to use VSCode

They have discussions enabled on the GitHub repository; eventually r/vscode might be of help.

What you would learn from using a neovim addon for VS Code covers most of the first point and some of the second - VSCode Vim lets you run neovim in a headless mode that relays keypresses to it, and emulates several popular addons. It also comes without quite as much hassle as comes from the second step of learning to configure vim/neovim yourself. Most VSCode extensions work pretty well out of the box, maybe requiring you to add the path to a compiler/interpreter that is not on your PATH.

The extension does have visualedit. You can check the list of supported features here: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/blob/HEAD/ROADMAP.md

I though VSCode's vim emulation had issues with code folding

Either I go with K552 or save for RK84 if not CB-GK-16 and both of these are pretty good choice that's certain, or I go with 617 Fizz and use VIM keybinding which Isn't an issue for me cause I've been using NeoVim for more than 1 year, you can grab my dotfiles if you want. Most people won't go with 60% cause they are used to arrow, home, end ... keys so am I with vs code but today I found out about vscodevim extension which enables vim keybinding , these keybindings pretty easy to use more than arrow, home, end .. keys if yo're a vim user like Shift + $ = end, Shift + 0 = home, in visual mode V to select text etc ...

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!

vim-repeat: More power to the dot.
