Try this https://github.com/gbprod/substitute.nvim

That one - https://github.com/gbprod/substitute.nvim . It is two plugins in one technically, substitute and exchange.

I use substitute.nvim for this purpose, which adds the "substitute" verb that you can apply to a text object to paste over it (without modifying your register).

I know you can accomplish this with vanilla vim motions, but I use a plugin for substituting textobjects with what's in my registers called substitute.nvim. vim-subversive and vim-exchange are other alternatives.

I would recommend substitute.nvim. It lets you input text over a text-object, and doesn't affect your " register

vim-subversive/substitute.nvim

Very cool! I think there is also https://github.com/gbprod/substitute.nvim

For neovim users -> gbprod/substitute.nvim sxiw jump to another word and press dot

For a while now, I have been seeing discussions about the multiple cursors feature only in the context of replacing words. Especially when people mention multiple cursors in 500 bytes of Vimscript! blogpost and there is even a cool-substitute plugin (nice work btw.) in which readme we can read: "Can easily replace multiple-cursors". I don't know how all people work. The word substitution may be the primary and most common feature of MC, but it is also the least useful one. MC shines when it comes to writing small macros (for big things, I still prefer the real vim macros). I have real-time visual feedback - no more fixing or rerecording broken macros - and I can even use autocompletion during it.
