dotvim VS vim-unimpaired

I have a whole file full of mappings like this that let Vim recognize various special key combinations from any terminal emulator I've used in the last 20 years. It's a mess: https://github.com/mgedmin/dotvim/blob/master/plugin/keyboard-workarounds.vim

https://github.com/mgedmin/dotvim, accumulated over many years.

So, three out of four? https://github.com/mgedmin/dotvim

Assuming I understood your desire correctly? I have a function to jump to the original (or patched) file when I press Enter on a line of diff: https://github.com/mgedmin/dotvim/blob/master/ftplugin/diff.vim

I use a custom foldexpr. I've been using it for many years, and polished it to do the right thing on all the codebases I've used it on.

My ~/.vim/ is a Git repository and I make it support older versions of Vim by checking for the existence of features before using them, because I couldn't stand my .vimrc emitting any errors on Vim startup. If you're interested, it's here: https://github.com/mgedmin/dotvim/

The primary reason why I need timeout/ttimeout is to have a working Escape key, when you also want to have custom bindings for various key combinations (e.g. ctrl+shift+arrows) that aren't natively recognized for your terminal for some reason, and thus you end up creating compatibility mappings for them.

My ~/.vim is here, if you're curious about the details: https://github.com/mgedmin/dotvim/

I'm perfectly happy with ~/.vim in a separate git repository (mine), with all the plugins installed via vim-plug.

My vimrc is, uhh, big, but I've tried to keep it commented.

I don't think it moves blocks, but I utilize the venerable vim-unimpaired for basic text movement (and for inserting empty lines from normal mode).

vim-unimpaired gives a mapping for that for ] (and [ to insert an empty lines above the cursor).

I use https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired for this.

Is it possible to install a Vim plugin (like https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired/tree/master)?

HJKL for movement, then mapped arrow keys to this (requires unimpaired): " Normal mode: indent or move line nmap [e nmap ]e nmap << nmap >> " Visual mode: indent or move selection vmap [egv vmap ]egv vmap >gv

Just now I was looking at the manual entry for vim-unimpaired, since I couldn't remember the incantation for swapping two lines. (It's ]e and [e for swap forward and swap backward.)

Switch buffers with :b or the ]b [b bindings from unimpaired.

and a nice toggle remap that I found here to edit Markdown without conceal: vim.keymap.set("n", "tc", ":setlocal =&conceallevel ? 'conceallevel=0' : 'conceallevel=2'", { desc = "[T]oggle [C]onceallevel"} )

imo there are even few plugin authors who actually understand this well, and certainly no distro author does. Some of the few examples of good "vim philosophy" plugins are vim-sneak and vim-unimpaired.

https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired. I still use it a lot and it’s one of the few remaining vimscript plug-ins I have. It is also quite slow to load. It would be fantastic to have a Lua equivalent.
