nvim-bufmode VS nvim-libmodal

I use this feature right now, and it simplifies a lot. I use t to open tabmode so I can create or destroy tabs easily. b, which I use more often, opens bufmode so I can switch the buffer in the current window, or delete it while preserving my layout. gs allows me to swap delimited items using hjkl. w is for visually switching between open splits. Etc etc

Only one submode can be currently active, yeah. You can enter new submodes from within others but only one will be intractable at a time.

Maybe I'm alone in it, but I actually have liked VimDoc so far for detailed documentation, because of its structure and conventions. You can typically just copy-paste a few templates from a register and insert your relevant data as needed. As for right-aligning new variables, there's always :h right-align or just foregoing it altogether. The spacing is for look rather than function.

I'm glad to see more development in the user-mode space! I made nvim-libmodal which has layers that do something similar to this, but it seems this particular type of feature is less popular in the Vim community than in Emacs.

There are plugins that do this vim-submode nvim-libmodal for example . So it's possible at least to some extent.

Thanks! This looks like what I'm looking for, actually. From the issues, I found nvim-libmodal and vim-libmodal, which seem more actively maintained. I'll look into them!

Worth a look, but it really doesn't do much aside from adding a couple convenience commands and some modes for markdown manipulation and snippet generation.
