nvim-treesitter-textsubjects VS vim-textobj-user

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)

Using lazy, it throws the error 70% of the time. when it doesn't throw the error it works. but It uses a dependency (vim-textobj-user) and I already tested it (only using that plugin without other plugins) is not the dependency's fault.

Just to add to that, there are also various plugins that give you additional text objects, such as: - ii for indent levels (https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-indent) - iz for folds (https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-fold) - if for functions (https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-function) - ic for comments (https://github.com/glts/vim-textobj-comment) - User-defined text objects (https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user)

Thank you, kind vimmer. For others stumbling upon this issue, having same character around is not supported in textobj-user, but there's a workaround: https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user/issues/48.

The vim-wordmotion plugin extends the idea of words to include snake case and camel case words among other things. On a related note, the vim-textobj-user plugin lets you extend vim's understanding of text objects.

if anyone wants to use this, just make sure to also install https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user for it to work

I would highly recommend https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user. Specifically, you'd want to pair it with https://github.com/sgur/vim-textobj-parameter. Check the readme for other useful custom text objects, personally I think this is one of my most useful set of plugins

I NEVER use count, because my mental flow is drastically hindered by pausing for any form of counting in midst of editing; I stay off even relative numbers even. In their place, I enable a vast number of text objects instead, quite a few implemented through the `kana/textobj-user plugin`. Good text object are an embodiment of intent and thus map better mentally than any method using brute counting, even at the loss of some precision and speed.

I would suggest using vim-textobj-user. Someone has already implemented a path object using this plugin. You can find this implementation here.
