combobulate VS evil-textobj-tree-sitter

Eh, I've been looking and haven't found anything for other editors that actually tries to use TreeSitter for anything beyond highlighting. The Emacs structural editing packages are still very WIP but at least they exist.

(And also some have been based on the out of tree implementation that's been around for a while now)

Example: https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate

Looking at https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate/blob/master/combobulate-python.el, it at the very least delegates to python-indent-calculate-levels, so the logic is mixed.

I went from an old config rich setups from before lsp's to lsp-mode ones etc... Right now I would say that eglot + pylsp gives you the best experience, you can use pyenv and pyvenv mode to manage your virtual environments. Now that treesitter is also being used you can try out https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate

I think the following packages would fit your wishlist, as it is very similar to mine. As mentioned in the replies, there is (https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el) and (https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate). I regularly use (https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens).

re syntactic text objects: https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate

I haven't used it, but based on the description, it looks like combobulate would be an example of this:

from github README.rst "Emacs package that provides a standardized framework for manipulating and navigating your source code using tree sitter's concrete syntax tree " -> https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate

https://www.spacemacs.org/ with https://github.com/emacs-tree-sitter/elisp-tree-sitter then write a iterator/loop query for language(s) editing per https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/syntax-highlightin...

tad less installation heavy (sorta) but also makes use of tree-sitter syntax queries : https://www.lunarvim.org (neovim with treesitter syntax)

blockman usage examples: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5539gDeAdWqeXcczWuhnBA

Alternative examples / takes (per user interface):

### embedding a block of source code in a document:

  ** carrotsearch.gethub.io/apidocs/code-blocks

I don't know what this fork brings to table, but you could try tree-sitter today with your vanilla Emacs using a package[1] that works via dynamic module.

Personally I am more interested in getting structural selection and navigation reliably working for any language. There is also a package named combobulate[2] to help with that.

TIL https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate Thank you, @snafuchs !

You may be aware but the author of TFA also has a tree-sitter based minor mode called Combobulate for exactly that:

https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/combobulate-structure...

There is also evil-textobj-tree-sitter for tree-sitter based text objects for Evil mode:

https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

here are the structural editing tools, and they're great - https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

evil-mode users already have options, and there seems to be a new package with general applicability too.

evil-textobj-tree-sitter: provides new textobjects to evil-mode, thanks to treesitter

I have a package which lets you target language level constructs like functions, classes, conditionals etc for text objects using tree-sitter. This is specific to evil mode as of now, though making it work outside evil would not be that big an effort. https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

Other than combobulate, these packages also use tree-sitter for changing code (not just highlighting): * https://codeberg.org/FelipeLema/tree-sitter-indent.el * https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

not lsp, treesitter is the way to go. lsp does not provide AST ATM. There is already https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter . As a side note, smartparens work on non-lispy code. I am very happy with using in combination with evil-cleverparens.
