substitute.nvim VS flash.nvim

https://github.com/gbprod/substitute.nvim https://github.com/smjonas/duplicate.nvim

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

I came across this term in https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim but couldn't figure out how to use this Search method.

flash.nvim supports jumping to treesitter nodes by labels(just like leap does for searching text). You might want to give that a try and see if it fits your needs.

The new plugin from Folke https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim has enhanced f, t, F, T motions and tons leap motions features!

There actually is one plugin, namely flash.nvim, which does something roughly in that direction for search; as soon as you type a unique string it jumps you to the respective location. https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim

return { -- https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim { "folke/flash.nvim", event = "VeryLazy", opts = { labels = "asdfghjklqwertyuiopzxcvbnm", }, config = function(_, opts) local flash = require("flash") flash.setup(opts) _G.flashnav = { jump = function () flash.jump({ search = { mode = "search"}, }) end, jumptoline = function () flash.jump({ search = { mode = "search", max_length = 0 }, label = { after = { 0, 0 } }, pattern = "^" }) end

-- Plugins require("lazy").setup({ -- Motions [https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim] "folke/flash.nvim", event = "VeryLazy", ---@type Flash.Config opts = {}, keys = { { "s", mode = { "n", "x", "o" }, function() require("flash").jump() end, desc = "Flash", }, { "S", mode = { "n", "o", "x" }, function() require("flash").treesitter() end, desc = "Flash Treesitter", }, { "r", mode = "o", function() require("flash").remote() end, desc = "Remote Flash", }, { "R", mode = { "o", "x" }, function() require("flash").treesitter_search() end, desc = "Flash Treesitter Search", }, { "", mode = { "c" }, function() require("flash").toggle() end, desc = "Toggle Flash Search", }, }, })

I just released a new plugin!
