minimap.vim VS vim-unimpaired

I have been trying to install https://github.com/wfxr/minimap.vim for several hours now. It installed the plugin but it won't load.

And if you really freaking wanted to, you could just add it to vim...

Prior to writing this, I didn't use any "buffer overview" plugins. I accidentally happened to see a wfxr/minimap.vim plugin, which uses Rust dependency to render text overview. This made me really curious if I could implement similar functionality in Lua with at least comparable speed. Turned out, I could! Benchmarking 'mini.map' and 'wfxr/minimap.vim' for first map window opening on 'builtin.txt' help page (9338 lines) shows around 70-90 milliseconds of computation time. Both are much faster on smaller files, of course.

wfxr/minimap.vim - VSCode style mini maps

I don't usually use any minimap, but when I show my configuration, there is one for decoration.

very nice. Would love to have the same feature in https://github.com/wfxr/minimap.vim

Regarding minimap in terminal, I've been enjoying this plugin.

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.
