nvim-treesitter-textsubjects VS iswap.nvim

Neovim supports treesitter based selections and "jumps", which I think are awesome

Or

https://github.com/RRethy/nvim-treesitter-textsubjects

Helix also supports them by default

nvim-treesitter-textsubjects

You could look into treesitter-textobjects and treesitter-textsubjects: they define "smarter" blocks and function boundaries that work relatively well with python and non-parentheses code.

I haven't got treesitter's own incremental selection working, but this plugin has given me basically the functionality I was after https://github.com/RRethy/nvim-treesitter-textsubjects

I personally use it for an outline window for my code (aerial.nvim) and quick-selecting code blocks (nvim-treesitter-textsubjects). I've also seen but not used syntax-tree-surfer for code navigation/manipulation and refactoring.nvim for performing refactoring operations. You could also check out awesome-neovim and ctrl-f for "treesitter", though there are many other plugins out there either not on that list or that don't explicitly mention treesitter in their description.

nvim-treesitter-textsubjects while I basically love everything about Treesitter support, this plugin is just super handy when you start to think more than a second how to select the piece of code you like (in fact nothing when it is nothing too trivial from your muscle-mind)

Could you elaborate on how is this different from https://github.com/mizlan/iswap.nvim?

The "move element left/right" thing you might be interested in https://github.com/mizlan/iswap.nvim perhaps?

iswap.nvim: Swap argument with treesitter.

[iswap.nvim](https://github.com/mizlan/iswap.nvim) is a plugin for swapping things around interactively in your buffer (powered by tree-sitter). Since the start I've entertained the idea of a post-operation highlight flash that confirms the operation, since otherwise it is sometimes hard to tell what you just did (to make sure you did it correctly). Also, you can arbitrarily swap sibling nodes too now, thanks to a PR by u/JoseConseco_ !

Btw, I found the queries from https://github.com/mizlan/iswap.nvim helpful in implementing this approach. (For example I found (variable_list (_) @swappable) was not covered in your lua queries. Once again thanks, this is great fun!

- https://github.com/mizlan/iswap.nvim : again uses hints for swapping treesitter nodes

iswap.nvim is a plugin that allows you to interactively swap... things! Like a lot of things: function arguments, list elements, parameters, and more! Take a look and see if it tickles your fancy!
