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.

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'

F/f/T/t highlight plugin?
Why not sneak or easymotion?

What do you use 's' for in normal mode? vanilla? or something like leap?
I've tried leap et al, but I still come back to sneak, and use that plugin's standard mappings for s and S.

Favourite Vim Easter Eggs?
I don't like many Vim plugins, but I absolutely must have sneak: https://github.com/justinmk/vim-sneak

Using preconfigured distro vs rolling your own config
imo there are even few plugin authors who actually understand this well, and certainly no distro author does. Some of the few examples of good "vim philosophy" plugins are vim-sneak and vim-unimpaired.

find-extender.nvim A Plugin that extends the nvim find command
Nice, but you've reinvented the wheel :) https://github.com/goldfeld/vim-seek -> https://github.com/justinmk/vim-sneak -> https://github.com/ggandor/leap.nvim

By vim motions, do you mean native motions or extended motions with plugins like vim easymotion and vim sneak? Those are the two I've been trying out recently.
