tabular VS vim-surround

Not exactly what you are asking for, but table formatting is usually enough with general purpose align plugins: - mini.align - junegunn/vim-easy-align - godlygeek/tabular

A tabular substitute? 😮

godlygeek/tabular for aligning things, sometimes useful

I always find the vim Tabular plugin for vim verry useful. Do you guys know if there is a similar package for emacs?

A lot of times I just use tabular in Vim to align stuff, but that involves manual typing of characters (but pressing tab or | to go to the next cell doesn't really matter IMHO).

If I were doing it once I would use Tabular to evenly space and align the columns with Tabularize/|, then use visual block mode to cut and paste the chunk where i want it

I don't know what exactly you mean by pasting around the second selection, but you can paste selections, registers or even files at specific lines with some vim-fu. If it's generic enough you could write a function or even keyboard shortcut if it's very simple.

I have set ",',(,[,{ in visual mode to cut the selection insert the pairs then paste it back as a very hacky solution, but it gets the job done. If you want something more advanced to add or change anything around the selection tpope has solved that with vim-surround[1].

vim-surround is likely the plugin answer.

If you have Tim Pope's vim-surround plugin, you can also add this to your Vimrc:

If you don't want to leverage Vim's package feature or you want to put your plugins in some other place, add the folder of the plugin to your :h 'runtimepath'. For example, if you download Tim Pope's vim-surround at ~\Documents\vim-surround, you should add this to your Vim configuration:

I'm using the vim-surround plugin by tPope and I know I can do ysw to surround words with whatever tag i want, I also know about cst (Change surrounding tag). But I'm wondering if there is a quick and easy way to wrap components. Some components might have closing tag and some components might not.

Is there any similar plugin to https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround?

Vim plugins (without UI) work out of the box. Hello vim-surround, argtextobj.vim and whatnot.

If you don't insist on staying in insert mode then you can use vim-surround, which is perfect for this: yse
