ctrlsf.vim VS vim-surround

Here is an example of a plugin spec for ctrlsf.vim.

This has been clutch for me https://github.com/dyng/ctrlsf.vim

You can try this plugin https://github.com/dyng/ctrlsf.vim . It provides something similar to what you explained, but you need to scope it manually if you want it only for current buffer.

I use ctrlsf.vim - how does your plugin compare to that one? Would it be a potential replacement now or in the future?

There is dyng/ctrlsf.vim, specificaly the edit-mode

There's also ctrlsf

Cool. Looks interesting! I use less known (I think) plugin called CtrlSF, which gives the same type of functionality. In my experience, CtrlSF has a very good user interface and feels intuitive to use.

If you have Tim Pope's vim-surround plugin, you can also add this to your Vimrc:

If you don't want to leverage Vim's package feature or you want to put your plugins in some other place, add the folder of the plugin to your :h 'runtimepath'. For example, if you download Tim Pope's vim-surround at ~\Documents\vim-surround, you should add this to your Vim configuration:

I'm using the vim-surround plugin by tPope and I know I can do ysw to surround words with whatever tag i want, I also know about cst (Change surrounding tag). But I'm wondering if there is a quick and easy way to wrap components. Some components might have closing tag and some components might not.

Is there any similar plugin to https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround?

Vim plugins (without UI) work out of the box. Hello vim-surround, argtextobj.vim and whatnot.

If you don't insist on staying in insert mode then you can use vim-surround, which is perfect for this: yse
