dial.nvim VS vim-exchange

dial.nvim

monaqa/dial.nvim - nicer and

u might also want to check out https://github.com/monaqa/dial.nvim if u want extended functionality

dial.nvim: making / more universally useful, eg to toggle bools

I found that binding those kind of toggles to Ctrl+a / Ctrl+x is pretty usefull

https://github.com/monaqa/dial.nvim : this plugin has 181 commits. Why does this need to be maintained in core?

How does this compare to dial.nvim?

dial.nvim significantly improves the built in increment/excrement functionality to include for instance booleans, or any other custom strings that you at yourself for that matter.

Just fyi that https://github.com/monaqa/dial.nvim can also do this :)

There are a couple plugins for this, I found this one nice: https://github.com/monaqa/dial.nvim

I use the vim-exchange plugin.

not sure that would be the best solution. I would use https://github.com/tommcdo/vim-exchange like this cxiwWW..

It cannot. I sometimes need this feature but I just use an editor plugin (https://github.com/tommcdo/vim-exchange) for this..

A bit of a feedback: - I've never really studied quickfix/loclist capabilities much until recently during writing a slightly updated version of :cnext/:cprev. It is indeed a very nice feature, albeit with a lot of "old Vim" presence to it. The 'fzf.vim' and 'telescope.nvim' were always enough for me. Now I have a small hope of trying to make a "poor man Telescope". - Never really understood the utility of 'vim-subversive'. It seems to be very similar to :s or "Visually select -> hit * -> cgn -> dot repeat until needed". - There is a MiniMisc.zoom() as an alternative to 'vim-maximizer'. - I use 'vim-argwrap' myself and do plan to do its analogue. Although hope to make a more or less simple function in 'mini.misc' instead of the whole module. - I did use 'sideways.vim' but replaced it with combination of "argument" textobject from 'mini.ai' and tommcdo/vim-exchange (which I do plan to rewrite, but not quite soon). Here is how (cxia + cxila; exchange "inner argument" with "last inner argument"). Far from perfect, but works most of the time. - I had 'undotree' in my installed plugins for more than a year and I've never really used it. I've seen an idea here, I think, about "straightening" undo history to become a single line instead of a tree. I currently like this idea better than 'undotree'. - Yes, something with "toggle bools" as functionality might be coming. But not very soon.

I'm using https://github.com/tommcdo/vim-exchange in Vim.

Yeah, I use sideways.vim and vim-exchange. (Not entirely sure which solves what OP is asking about.)

For vim users tommcdo/vim-exchange cxiw jump to another word then press dot

I use vim-exchange for situations like this. Old plugin, but still works fine. You visually select one side, press X, visually select the other side and press X. You can also use cx{motion}, and cx{motion} again if you don't want to use visual mode.
