switch.vim VS vim-textobj-user

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.

Using lazy, it throws the error 70% of the time. when it doesn't throw the error it works. but It uses a dependency (vim-textobj-user) and I already tested it (only using that plugin without other plugins) is not the dependency's fault.

Just to add to that, there are also various plugins that give you additional text objects, such as: - ii for indent levels (https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-indent) - iz for folds (https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-fold) - if for functions (https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-function) - ic for comments (https://github.com/glts/vim-textobj-comment) - User-defined text objects (https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user)

Thank you, kind vimmer. For others stumbling upon this issue, having same character around is not supported in textobj-user, but there's a workaround: https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user/issues/48.

The vim-wordmotion plugin extends the idea of words to include snake case and camel case words among other things. On a related note, the vim-textobj-user plugin lets you extend vim's understanding of text objects.

if anyone wants to use this, just make sure to also install https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user for it to work

I would highly recommend https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user. Specifically, you'd want to pair it with https://github.com/sgur/vim-textobj-parameter. Check the readme for other useful custom text objects, personally I think this is one of my most useful set of plugins

I NEVER use count, because my mental flow is drastically hindered by pausing for any form of counting in midst of editing; I stay off even relative numbers even. In their place, I enable a vast number of text objects instead, quite a few implemented through the `kana/textobj-user plugin`. Good text object are an embodiment of intent and thus map better mentally than any method using brute counting, even at the loss of some precision and speed.

I would suggest using vim-textobj-user. Someone has already implemented a path object using this plugin. You can find this implementation here.
