sideways.vim VS vim-commentary

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

sideways.vim: move arguments left and right (I know this is nowadays done with tree sitter, but there isn't a ts grammar for everything so far)

Yeah, I use sideways.vim and vim-exchange. (Not entirely sure which solves what OP is asking about.)

I use vim-sideways for this. If vim-swap doesn't work out, give it a shot!

For the second case Sideways has SidewaysArgumentAppendLast. I mapped it to A (shouldn't conflict with other mappings).

For argument lists, check out sideways.vim which is smart enough to shift arguments around instead of only selecting them.

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.

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.

Also, tpope/vim-commentary

https://github.com/tpope/vim-commentary does what you expect!

I've replaced most of my custom maps for commenting with tpope's commentary plugin. It's a great plugin. However, I wasn't happy with the lack of multi-line/block comment abilities so I created some maps to compliment the commentary plugin. Here are some maps that can be used with autocmd, FileType and for JavaScript comments.

commentary.vim + :h gq?

Having said this, there are some useful language independent extensions: jiangmiao/auto-pairs, tpope/vim-commentary, preservim/tagbar, junegunn/vim-peekaboo

vim-commentary comment code comfortably with motions and visual selections alike.

With a plugin like vim-commentary or comment.nvim
