neovim VS nvim-treesitter-textobjects

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.

I was hoping to use nvim-treesitter-textobjects to jump to the next argument via something like this:

You want to look at nvim-treesitter-textobjects. It let's you define keymaps for navigating text objects defined by treesitter and you can also use them with commands like d, c and so on.

Thank you! It looks like nvim-treesitter-textobjects is a good plugin to start with:

https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjec...

I'm aware of nvim-treesitter-textobjects and I suspect my answer lies in this plugin, but is there a way to move between root nodes that is agnostic of the node type?

Thanks! I just started using https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjects, and it works as a charm.

nvim-treesitter-textobjects

In this case, reading here is probably a good start: https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjects

Have a look at https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjects. Set up the @block.inner and @block.outer textobjects and it should work.

nvim-treesitter-textobjects lets you jump to (for instance) functions more accurately than with a regex-based approach using ]f

Or even better, one can use nvim-treesitter-textobjects. It already provides function/class selection and go-to functionality out-of-the-box.
