delimitMate VS vim-surround

A couple of years ago I chose delimitMate as plugin to automatically insert matching parenthesis, quotation marks etc. In the mean time I saw many new plugins getting announced that do the same. But I was quite happy with my choice and despite Lua rewrites I haven't seen anything obvious interesting.

Delimitmate actually made a mapping for that. https://github.com/Raimondi/delimitMate/blob/master/doc/delimitMate.txt

delimitmate to automatically close quotes, etc

delimitMate - autoclose quotes, parenthesis, brackets and so on

I suggest you to look at delimitMate plugin. It does what you want and much more. See option delimitMate_expand_cr

I don't know what exactly you mean by pasting around the second selection, but you can paste selections, registers or even files at specific lines with some vim-fu. If it's generic enough you could write a function or even keyboard shortcut if it's very simple.

I have set ",',(,[,{ in visual mode to cut the selection insert the pairs then paste it back as a very hacky solution, but it gets the job done. If you want something more advanced to add or change anything around the selection tpope has solved that with vim-surround[1].

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
