    (Neo)vim supports plugins, which make your code editor much better. You need a faster way to comment stuff? Sure, here is nvim-comment. Now you need a better tool to surround text by certain characters? Alright, we also have nvim-surround. And this goes on for almost everything you ever needed. And in the rare case that you can't find a plugin for what you need: Write it yourself! It's very easy to write plugins, as vim and neovim both have a lot of functions that help with writing those.

    Oh sorry I forgot to add additional context. I already have keymaps that starts with m but not dealing visual mode. For example, I'm using ms, mr, md for nvim-surround. That is why I'm trying to map mi and ma, not just m for entering visual mode.
  • Automatically encapsulate or surround existing code with symbol pair

    I'm trying out https://github.com/kylechui/nvim-surround (maybe a Lua port of that same plugin) and it it seems very capable. With some remapped shortcuts I think I can bend it to my will. Thanks!

    The other plugin that can do this is kylechui/nvim-surround. Not sure how to set it up, though.

    One more though: How can I see which plugins are installed, and how can I download new ones? To get my language servers in place, I used Mason. But I don't see things like plugins (I guess LSPs are not considered plugins?), which I had expected to, so I'm not sure Mason is the correct tool for plugin management. For example, I'd like to check whether my colleague's setup (and thus mine) includes this plugin, and if not, to install it. I could just ask him of course, but he's pretty senior, and I like to maintain an façade of semi-competence at work that constant pestering would shatter ;)
