dotfiles VS vim-unimpaired

I like it when things are tidy: dotfiles/vim/vimrc. It makes the training info more credible.

You can always purge your buffer list whenever it gets too large. In fact, I have two custom commands in my vimrc: one to delete all buffers and one to delete specific buffer file(s). You can find them here in my dotfiles.

If you want to see what my personal configs look like, check out my dotfiles.

My Vim configs are stored inside my dotfiles repository - this way I can access them when I'm away from my computer. So if I have to login from a foreign computer, all I need to do is symlink the Vim files from the dotfiles repository, install the dependencies (I have a script for that too, but that's for another time), and I'm set to go!

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.
