vim-addon-local-vimrc VS targets.vim

You can? I'd never heard of this. Until now, I'd always used MarcWeber/vim-addon-local-vimrc. It works okay but if there's something built-in I'd much prefer that.

https://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-local-vimrc does the job just fine.

Project-specific editor config: vim-localvimrc, vim-addon-local-vimrc

vim-addon-local-vimrc (project-local settings in a secure way, never use project-local settings without)

VERY IMPORTANT: Do not set your Neovim to automatically load such a file. Vim script files contain executable code and you do not want to load executable code unconditionally, that's a massive vulnerability. And no, setting the secure option does not help. I use this plugin which makes me first confirm that I want to load the file. From then on it will only automatically load the file if it has not been changed. If the file has changed it will prompt me again.

Try vim-addon-local-vimrc to load a project specific vimrc or vim-ctrlspace to load session infos.

I like monotasking - no plugins eating up screen real estate - so I use [vim-projectionist](https://github.com/tpope/vim-projectionist) and [vim-addon-local-vimrc](https://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-local-vimrc). Projectionist allows me to capture the structure of my project: 'view', 'controller', 'test', 'component', 'feature-x-component', whatever. vim-addon-local-vimrc lets me configure projectionist (and other vim plugins) for my particular project.

Plugin: vim addon local vimrc

targets is nice too.

The thing that has the biggest impact on me is ci”, ca”, da”, etc.. so I suggested getting used to using those.. and then you can get more pedantic with it using https://github.com/wellle/targets.vim

I do recommend getting, targets.vim https://github.com/wellle/targets.vim .. which unlocks the n(ext) and l(ast) verbs(?) ..ahhhh it’s REALLY REALLY good, I use 2in” like a lot

In fact, as /u/Chillbrosaurus_Rex points out, there's a plugin, targets.vim, that expands on Vim's built-in text objects, and one of the things it does is to provide this kind of forward and reverse direction functionality.

Hey, I use targets.vim, how does it compare with that?

You might benefit from targets.vim, it works well with your thought process. It adds a bunch of new really useful editing targets (which should be builtin imo).

Thanks for the through explanation. I has seen that and considered using it in the past. Can I ask how it compares to https://github.com/wellle/targets.vim? Would you consider mini.ai a replacement or complementary?

This is provided by targets.vim, along with a bunch of other useful text objects.
