"vi," to select text between comma
There's a number of plugins for an "argument" text object (mine is sideways), but if you're just looking for a simple "change between commas", here's a great SO answer that explains how to create a mapping like that for yourself in two lines: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44109750/853920

Swapping words
Yeah, I use sideways.vim and vim-exchange. (Not entirely sure which solves what OP is asking about.)
- what is your startup time?
-
Swap any 2 comma separated selected WORDS
I use vim-sideways for this. If vim-swap doesn't work out, give it a shot!

How to insert text before end of a quote/brackets?
For the second case Sideways has SidewaysArgumentAppendLast. I mapped it to A (shouldn't conflict with other mappings).
-
How can I do delete in commas, change inside periods? Basically treating periods and commas like quotation, etc.
For argument lists, check out sideways.vim which is smart enough to shift arguments around instead of only selecting them.
-
How can i swap words ?
But there's also another "classic" plugin just for this use case: https://github.com/AndrewRadev/sideways.vim I've never used it though, so can't comment on its use, but it looks pretty good.
-
anyone know an elegant way to swap the orders of two parameters in a function call? foo(bar, baz) becomes foo(baz, bar)
Also not a native solution, but I've been using sideways.vim for a while. I have space as my leader and use leader-L and leader-R.

Weekly Vim tips and tricks thread! #24
For those who wish to preview substitutions as they type à la Neovim inccommand, there's markonm/traces.vim.
- Why keeps you using vim vs neovim?
- How would I wrap a word, prefix it, and finally suffix it?
-
multiple cursors
Neovim has this built in with set inccommand=split, which is inspired by traces.vim, I believe.

Would you be interested in multicursor support for Neovim?
Do you know traces.vim?
-
How to not ask for regex solutions all the time?
There is also https://github.com/markonm/traces.vim that shows the changes made by :substitute interactively.
-
I still want multiple cursors and I’ve been using Vim/neovim for 8 years!
Perhaps you mean traces.vim? I find it extends live feedback on substitutions and whatnot quite well. Useful for a lot of typical cases where you would expect native Vim/Neovim to provide live feedback but doesn’t. Also, I find the “Feature comparison” table for traces to be modest: it is even better / native is lacking.

Newbie question about :s
May want to use 'incsearch' & 'hlsearch' to help show patterns as you build them with /. Neovim will show substitution previews ('inccommand') and traces.vim will work with Vim.
-
Is there a plugin that makes searching and replacing stuff in vim easier?
The traces.vim plugin can help show substitution previews. Neovim may want to look at :h 'inccommand'
