sideways.vim VS vim-sleuth

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.

In addition to setting tabstop and shiftwidth, you might also like this plugin: https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth

vim-sleuth auto detects tab size so...

Just add https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth and never worry about it again.

At the end of the day I don't really care which a project goes with, I've always just used vim-sleuth to automatically set my tab key to input whatever the current file's indentation is.

VsCode has an internal function from auto-detecting indentation, while my config uses vim-sleuth with indent-blankline.nvim.

If you work a lot on legacy codebases, https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth is probably more what you need than editorconfig, as it will work even when one is not present.

The primary advantage of using it is that it has built in heuristics for detecting line wrapping when opening a file (with some Treesitter magic for Markdown to make it more accurate), and also allows for manual swapping between wrapping types. You can think of it as the wrapping equivalent to vim-sleuth.

I just found about Tim Pope's sleuth: https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth It supports editorconfig but it also seems to have just better heuristics when an editorconfig file isn't present, so I just decided to replace `editorconfig-vim` with it.

Another solution is try sleuth.vim, that sets automatically your indentation based on the project, buffer and editorconfig
