YankAssassin.vim VS targets.vim

I like to use https://github.com/svban/YankAssassin.vim . Works nicely with y5j, for example. Although it is not a simple config change in this case.

& https://github.com/svban/YankAssassin.vim is used, so the cursor doesn't move to the text objects while Yanking.

targets is nice too.

The thing that has the biggest impact on me is ci”, ca”, da”, etc.. so I suggested getting used to using those.. and then you can get more pedantic with it using https://github.com/wellle/targets.vim

I do recommend getting, targets.vim https://github.com/wellle/targets.vim .. which unlocks the n(ext) and l(ast) verbs(?) ..ahhhh it’s REALLY REALLY good, I use 2in” like a lot

In fact, as /u/Chillbrosaurus_Rex points out, there's a plugin, targets.vim, that expands on Vim's built-in text objects, and one of the things it does is to provide this kind of forward and reverse direction functionality.

Hey, I use targets.vim, how does it compare with that?

You might benefit from targets.vim, it works well with your thought process. It adds a bunch of new really useful editing targets (which should be builtin imo).

Thanks for the through explanation. I has seen that and considered using it in the past. Can I ask how it compares to https://github.com/wellle/targets.vim? Would you consider mini.ai a replacement or complementary?

This is provided by targets.vim, along with a bunch of other useful text objects.
