better-escape.nvim VS mini.nvim

For me it's better-escape.nvim -> Escape from insert mode without delay when typing

max397574/better-escape.nvim - i use jk/kj for insert mode so this makes it smoother

I'm trying to install https://github.com/max397574/better-escape.nvim in a separate file in .config/nvim/lua/plugins.

I just tested a probably hacky and unintentional way around this, but better-escape lets you remap sequences in i-mode to do kinda whatever. In the 'keys' key of the config table, it defaults to '' but I changed it to ':wi' and it seems to work. Don't want to be the person that tells you to rely on this for some big project without serious testing though.

I could use better-escape.nvim so that there's less probability of clashing. Not sure how practical so that it's 100% no clashing. I never have any clashes with jk.

Maybe try the better escape plugin and set the escape key in that plugin to ":w!".

I like using better-escape.nvim as it removes the delay that you get with using a mapping. You can certainly use a mapping for it, but it's much more comfortable with this plugin.

I also use "jk", like a tons of people I think, additionally I installed this little plugin that make the experience veeeery smooth: better-escape

This is essentially a tagline of mini.move.

Just as the others suggested, oil.nvim solves this outta the box. I freaking love it (here my config in case ya need it). Apparently also mini.files handles this by default

You mean backwards seeking text objects? You can get those with mini.ai https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-ai.md

I would like to offer you to join me in saying late greetings to this autumn with a release of mini.nvim version 0.10.0. It is mostly about introducing three (quite feature full, dare I say) modules and minor updates of existing ones.

Last night I cleaned up all the dead code in my config and realised that mini.nvim has to be the single best plugin that I've used. I have a couple of other favourites but this collection has been so consistently good that I wanted to give some thanks to the juggernaut that is u/echasnovski! Thanks for all the work you plugin authors and core maintainers put in to make this editor what it is <3

For example: I spent a lot of time configuring file tree plugins to have the same sorting as VS Code, tweaking their icons, etc. But then I realized I barely used the file explorer at all, and now I'm super happy with the minimal approach of mini.files. I had similar experiences with other plugins that were just adding "fluff" instead of the functionality I was looking for.

Around two weeks ago I've announced the release of mini.files - a file explorer module of mini.nvim with column view navigation and "edit text to manipulate file system" design. This resulted into a great feedback from the community, much of which turned into new features.
