switch.vim VS ReplaceWithRegister

There is also a more general plugin for swtching any statement in any filetype https://github.com/AndrewRadev/switch.vim.

Cool! Seems to fill a similar space as https://github.com/AndrewRadev/switch.vim .

Switch.vim makes pretty easy to quick switch between definitions of something. I use it a lot to manage a list of to-dos while I'm working and quick switch between "TODO", "DOING" and "DONE"

There is also switch.vim which has been around for a decade and a few other alternatives mentioned in the readme which are even older.

Works well for the simple usecase it tries to solve. If somebody wants even more customisability with the ability to define much more complex patterns then https://github.com/AndrewRadev/switch.vim is an alternative. It can also cycle through a list instead of just toggling between two values.

I think my single most-used plugin is ReplaceWithRegister. Using that, your 4th step would be gri" (go replace inside quotes).

2 essential plugins for me that I don’t see talked about much anymore are vim-scripts/ReplaceWithRegister and vim-scripts/ReplaceWithSameIndentRegister. The vanilla way to do this is not super difficult, delete into the black hole register, then paste. Or visually select, then paste. And afterwards clean up the formatting if necessary. But I do this hundreds of times a day, the convenience of having a dedicated command for it is massive.

It sounds like you would enjoy this plugin: https://github.com/vim-scripts/ReplaceWithRegister.

Someone shared ReplaceWithRegister in a previous thread about plugins. It's become my most used.

One that I use literally 50 times a day is (Replace with register)[https://github.com/vim-scripts/ReplaceWithRegister]. It lets you replace the motioned content with your register, so griw would replace the current word object with the register. Absolutely lost with out it.
