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'

What is the best vim motion alternative for this kind of text selection ?
vim-visual-multi has similar motions: in my mapping I go: ctrl+arrow_down > tab to enter selection mode > e to end of word -> y Although the pasting needs to be done to a block. Pasting to new document is ok though

Does anyone know some good altermatives for these Vim plugins on Emacs?
vim-visual-multi (only the multiple-cursor support, I don't care about the other features)
- What IDEA or Vscode feature/function you want to have in neovim eco-system?
- Vim cursores multiplos
-
After using Emacs (with evil) for a long time I switched to Neovim.
I recommend this one https://github.com/mg979/vim-visual-multi
- Apply normal command to all regex matches on the same line
-
Simultaneous editing of _some_ instances of a word or sentence
I know people say it's not necessary, but, for me personally, vim-visual-multi has been a vital part of my plugins and I use it QUITE a lot; maybe it's because I'm bad at Vim, but I basically can't live without the plugin

List of questions after first week of transitioning to neovim
For 5. I think this is the usual multiple cursor plugin: https://github.com/mg979/vim-visual-multi It's a bit to learn and really powerful, but since it's a plugin and not a core feature it might not play nice with everything else.
