vim-ReplaceWithRegister VS mini.nvim

With https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-ReplaceWithRegister, yiqgllA,

If you're into hidden gems: * This fixes repeat behaviour for all visual modes, like proper . in visual block. * This this provides a proper paste-over operator, working with all register types (text?,line,block).

My favourite solution to this is the ReplaceWithRegister plugin.

I would recommend this plugin to solve this kind of problems https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-ReplaceWithRegister

Thanks a lot for this recommendation! This particular repo hasn't been updated since 2014, here is a more up-to-date version by the same author: https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-ReplaceWithRegister.

The best solution I've found to this is a plug-in called Replace with register, which maps to gr (mnemonic "go replace"). This lets you just do diw, move, griw.

If you don't mind using plugins, take a look at vim-replace-with-register, which is designed to solve exactly this problem. It gives you a command, mapped to gr by default, which replaces the following text object with the contents of a register. So you can delete a word (daw), then move to a different word and replace it with the contents of the default register (graw).

This is essentially a tagline of mini.move.

Just as the others suggested, oil.nvim solves this outta the box. I freaking love it (here my config in case ya need it). Apparently also mini.files handles this by default

You mean backwards seeking text objects? You can get those with mini.ai https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-ai.md

I would like to offer you to join me in saying late greetings to this autumn with a release of mini.nvim version 0.10.0. It is mostly about introducing three (quite feature full, dare I say) modules and minor updates of existing ones.

Last night I cleaned up all the dead code in my config and realised that mini.nvim has to be the single best plugin that I've used. I have a couple of other favourites but this collection has been so consistently good that I wanted to give some thanks to the juggernaut that is u/echasnovski! Thanks for all the work you plugin authors and core maintainers put in to make this editor what it is <3

For example: I spent a lot of time configuring file tree plugins to have the same sorting as VS Code, tweaking their icons, etc. But then I realized I barely used the file explorer at all, and now I'm super happy with the minimal approach of mini.files. I had similar experiences with other plugins that were just adding "fluff" instead of the functionality I was looking for.

Around two weeks ago I've announced the release of mini.files - a file explorer module of mini.nvim with column view navigation and "edit text to manipulate file system" design. This resulted into a great feedback from the community, much of which turned into new features.
