vim-easy-align VS vim-fugitive

As part of my journey to moving to Lua, I'm trying to move from vim-easy-align to mini.align.

Not exactly what you are asking for, but table formatting is usually enough with general purpose align plugins: - mini.align - junegunn/vim-easy-align - godlygeek/tabular

For aligning text table data I usually used this plugin

I am happy to announce the release of mini.align - module of mini.nvim for aligning text interactively (with or without live preview). This is mostly designed after junegunn/vim-easy-align, but is implemented in Lua and has slightly different alignment specification and user interaction lifecycle.

call plug#begin() " The default plugin directory will be as follows: " - Vim (Linux/macOS): '~/.vim/plugged' " - Vim (Windows): '~/vimfiles/plugged' " - Neovim (Linux/macOS/Windows): stdpath('data') . '/plugged' " You can specify a custom plugin directory by passing it as the argument " - e.g. `call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')` " - Avoid using standard Vim directory names like 'plugin' " Make sure you use single quotes " Shorthand notation; fetches https://github.com/junegunn/vim-easy-align Plug 'junegunn/vim-easy-align' " Any valid git URL is allowed Plug 'https://github.com/junegunn/vim-github-dashboard.git' " Multiple Plug commands can be written in a single line using | separators Plug 'SirVer/ultisnips' | Plug 'honza/vim-snippets' " On-demand loading Plug 'scrooloose/nerdtree', { 'on': 'NERDTreeToggle' } Plug 'tpope/vim-fireplace', { 'for': 'clojure' } " Using a non-default branch Plug 'rdnetto/YCM-Generator', { 'branch': 'stable' } " Using a tagged release; wildcard allowed (requires git 1.9.2 or above) Plug 'fatih/vim-go', { 'tag': '*' } " Plugin options Plug 'nsf/gocode', { 'tag': 'v.20150303', 'rtp': 'vim' } " Plugin outside ~/.vim/plugged with post-update hook Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'dir': '~/.fzf', 'do': './install --all' } " vim-airline " display the statusline at the bottom of the vim Plug 'vim-airline/vim-airline' Plug 'vim-airline/vim-airline-themes' " ale " check syntax on the contents of text buffers Plug 'dense-analysis/ale' " Initialize plugin system call plug#end() "================ " General settings "================ syntax on set cursorline set backspace=indent,eol,start " Show line numbers " set number " Show command in bottom bar " set showcmd " Visual autocomplete for command menu set wildmenu " Redraw only when necessary, speeds up macros set lazyredraw set hlsearch " system clipboard set clipboard=unnamed " remove all trailing whitepsace " https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Remove_unwanted_spaces au BufWritePre * :%s/\s\+$//e " The NERD Tree noremap 1 1gt noremap 2 2gt noremap 3 3gt noremap 4 4gt noremap 5 5gt noremap 6 6gt noremap 7 7gt noremap 8 8gt noremap 9 9gt noremap 0 :tablast au BufNewFile,BufRead * set expandtab au BufNewFile,BufRead * set shiftwidth=4 au BufNewFile,BufRead * set softtabstop=4 au BufNewFile,BufRead * set tabstop=4 "=========================== " Language specific settings "=========================== " Python au BufNewFile,BufRead *.py set expandtab au BufNewFile,BufRead *.py set shiftwidth=4 au BufNewFile,BufRead *.py set softtabstop=4 au BufNewFile,BufRead *.py set tabstop=4 " Markdown au BufNewFile,BufRead *.md set expandtab au BufNewFile,BufRead *.md set shiftwidth=4 au BufNewFile,BufRead *.md set softtabstop=4 au BufNewFile,BufRead *.md set tabstop=4

vim-easy-align - I haven't yet found a Lua-based equivalent with the same flexibility.

Also does this plugin support operator-pending mode like vim-easy-align does? For instance doing gaip, ("go align in paragraph; commas) in normal mode aligns all commas in the current paragraph.

Regarding your last question, there’s this: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-easy-align

the only reason I do some git stuff in vim and not _always_ in the shell, is because tpope is very thoughtful and fugitive.vim provides nice ways to deal with hunks or hunk partials (visually selecting a range within a hunk, for i.e.)

I agree, navigating blame history is incredibly useful, if only to save you from asking the wrong person about a particular change.

Vim's Fugitive[1] can do this and also in Textmate to. So I would hope that most editor git plugins can.

Git: vim-fugitive and gitsigns.nvim

You'll want to invest the time in learning Magit, which will change your life once you get the hang of it (and I was a heavy user of Fugitive in Vim previously!), and it's unlikely you'll find a better integration with GDB anywhere else on the planet than with Emacs, though I can't say that empirically. You just need to take the plunge and start learning it, then cut over and take the hit in productivity one day when you're feeling adventurous. You'll ultimately become far more powerful than you've ever been. Especially if you delve into elisp over time. I use Spacemacs, which is bloated and has bugs, but it has so many features that I haven't undertaken the massive endeavor to replace it from scratch yet.

For an option that works on Vim, if you already use tpope's vim-fugitive, there's vim-rhubarb (for GitHub) and fugitive-gitlab.vim (for GitLab).

I replace vim-fugitive with :! git

The only thing I truly miss from Emacs is [Magit](https://magit.vc/) since I still consider it the best git wrapper available. It is just too good. Unfortunately [Neogit](https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit) is not quite there yet although I hope it makes it at some point. I didn't like [Fugitive]https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive), but I ended up finding a good enough workaround by using [Lazygit](https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit) through [Toggleterm](https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim).

I do think VSCode is a great tool and I recommend it frequently to people, but I still want to set the record straight here. Yes, vim is obviously limited in the sense that as a CLI app it doesn't draw it's own PDF or HTML windows, that's fair. But it can remote control your favorite PDF viewer or browser for roughly the same functionality. I'm currently writing my thesis using vimtex and it's quite smooth. And all the other stuff you mention is implemented quite competently by various plugins like vim-fugitive, coc.nvim, vimspector and copilot.vim.
