hibiscus.nvim VS targets.vim

local function bootstrap(url, ref) local name = url:gsub(".*/", "") local path = vim.fn.stdpath [[data]] .. "/lazy/" .. name if vim.fn.isdirectory(path) == 0 then print(name .. ": installing in data dir...") vim.fn.system { "git", "clone", url, path } if ref then vim.fn.system { "git", "-C", path, "checkout", ref } end vim.cmd [[redraw]] print(name ..

I can recommend using Fennel with Tangerine (integration) and Hibiscus (macros). My config here for inspiration.

For ease of use, you can use conjure for evaluating the code, cmp-conjure for nvim completions, hibiscus.nvim and nyoom.nvim macros for macros, and you can also use nyoom.nvim as a base config.

Hibiscus.nvim:

local function bootstrap (name, url, path) if vim.fn.isdirectory(path) == 0 then print(name .. ": installing in data dir...") vim.fn.system {"git", "clone", "--depth", "1", url, path} vim.cmd [[redraw]] print(name .. ": finished installing") end end bootstrap ( "tangerine.nvim", "https://github.com/udayvir-singh/tangerine.nvim", vim.fn.stdpath "data" .. "/site/pack/packer/start/tangerine.nvim" ) bootstrap ( "hibiscus.nvim", "https://github.com/udayvir-singh/hibiscus.nvim", vim.fn.stdpath "data" .. "/site/pack/packer/start/hibiscus.nvim" ) require'tangerine'.setup{ compiler = { verbose = false, hooks = { "onsave", "oninit" } } }

Fennel with hibiscus:

But, you can use another plugin of mine Hibiscus which contains bulk of zest and aniseed macros.

targets is nice too.

The thing that has the biggest impact on me is ci”, ca”, da”, etc.. so I suggested getting used to using those.. and then you can get more pedantic with it using https://github.com/wellle/targets.vim

I do recommend getting, targets.vim https://github.com/wellle/targets.vim .. which unlocks the n(ext) and l(ast) verbs(?) ..ahhhh it’s REALLY REALLY good, I use 2in” like a lot

In fact, as /u/Chillbrosaurus_Rex points out, there's a plugin, targets.vim, that expands on Vim's built-in text objects, and one of the things it does is to provide this kind of forward and reverse direction functionality.

Hey, I use targets.vim, how does it compare with that?

You might benefit from targets.vim, it works well with your thought process. It adds a bunch of new really useful editing targets (which should be builtin imo).

https://github.com/wellle/targets.vim

Thanks for the through explanation. I has seen that and considered using it in the past. Can I ask how it compares to https://github.com/wellle/targets.vim? Would you consider mini.ai a replacement or complementary?

This is provided by targets.vim, along with a bunch of other useful text objects.
