Weekly Vim tips and tricks thread! #24
For those who wish to preview substitutions as they type à la Neovim inccommand, there's markonm/traces.vim.
- Why keeps you using vim vs neovim?
- How would I wrap a word, prefix it, and finally suffix it?
-
multiple cursors
Neovim has this built in with set inccommand=split, which is inspired by traces.vim, I believe.

There's also markonm/traces.vim: Range, pattern and substitute preview for Vim

Would you be interested in multicursor support for Neovim?
Do you know traces.vim?
-
How to not ask for regex solutions all the time?
There is also https://github.com/markonm/traces.vim that shows the changes made by :substitute interactively.

I still want multiple cursors and I’ve been using Vim/neovim for 8 years!
Perhaps you mean traces.vim? I find it extends live feedback on substitutions and whatnot quite well. Useful for a lot of typical cases where you would expect native Vim/Neovim to provide live feedback but doesn’t. Also, I find the “Feature comparison” table for traces to be modest: it is even better / native is lacking.

Newbie question about :s
May want to use 'incsearch' & 'hlsearch' to help show patterns as you build them with /. Neovim will show substitution previews ('inccommand') and traces.vim will work with Vim.
-
Is there a plugin that makes searching and replacing stuff in vim easier?
The traces.vim plugin can help show substitution previews. Neovim may want to look at :h 'inccommand'

A Practical Guide to fzf: Vim Integration
There are two plugins allowing us to use fzf in Vim: the native fzf plugin directly installed with fzf, and fzf.vim. The second plugin is built on the first one.

LazyVim
You might be interested in installing the fzf-vim plugin [0]. It has a user-defined command :Maps which can be used to search through all keybindings (you can also do this with just :nmap in vim, but the fzf interface is much nicer). It also provides :Commands. This behaves remarkably like VSCode's command palette.

Manual page in vim with fuzzy search with preview, documentation with cherry on top.
You'll also need https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim (which is imo the only vim plugin that's a must).

I use the default file browser in vim (netrw). I know there are plugins that a lot of people like. Should I switch?
I do all my file operations from the command line. But to open and search files I use fzf

Regarding plugins , I am using https://github.com/Donaldttt/fuzzyy because it works in windows, unlike https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim

Alternative to harpoon for vim to quickly navigate few files/buffers
There's a :Buffers command in fzf.vim that I use extensively. It opens a fuzzy-find window with all open buffers in a MRU list.

fzfx.vim: E(x)tended fzf commands missing in fzf.vim
Thanks to fzf.vim and fzf-lua, everything I learned and copied is from them.

jfind: over 130x faster than telescope + telescope-fzf-native
they're likely referring to fzf.vim, the vimscript plugin from the original fzf author that wraps around fzf. there's also fzf-lua nowadays.
