vim-exchange VS vim-unimpaired

I use the vim-exchange plugin.

not sure that would be the best solution. I would use https://github.com/tommcdo/vim-exchange like this cxiwWW..

It cannot. I sometimes need this feature but I just use an editor plugin (https://github.com/tommcdo/vim-exchange) for this..

A bit of a feedback: - I've never really studied quickfix/loclist capabilities much until recently during writing a slightly updated version of :cnext/:cprev. It is indeed a very nice feature, albeit with a lot of "old Vim" presence to it. The 'fzf.vim' and 'telescope.nvim' were always enough for me. Now I have a small hope of trying to make a "poor man Telescope". - Never really understood the utility of 'vim-subversive'. It seems to be very similar to :s or "Visually select -> hit * -> cgn -> dot repeat until needed". - There is a MiniMisc.zoom() as an alternative to 'vim-maximizer'. - I use 'vim-argwrap' myself and do plan to do its analogue. Although hope to make a more or less simple function in 'mini.misc' instead of the whole module. - I did use 'sideways.vim' but replaced it with combination of "argument" textobject from 'mini.ai' and tommcdo/vim-exchange (which I do plan to rewrite, but not quite soon). Here is how (cxia + cxila; exchange "inner argument" with "last inner argument"). Far from perfect, but works most of the time. - I had 'undotree' in my installed plugins for more than a year and I've never really used it. I've seen an idea here, I think, about "straightening" undo history to become a single line instead of a tree. I currently like this idea better than 'undotree'. - Yes, something with "toggle bools" as functionality might be coming. But not very soon.

I'm using https://github.com/tommcdo/vim-exchange in Vim.

Yeah, I use sideways.vim and vim-exchange. (Not entirely sure which solves what OP is asking about.)

For vim users tommcdo/vim-exchange cxiw jump to another word then press dot

I use vim-exchange for situations like this. Old plugin, but still works fine. You visually select one side, press X, visually select the other side and press X. You can also use cx{motion}, and cx{motion} again if you don't want to use visual mode.

I don't think it moves blocks, but I utilize the venerable vim-unimpaired for basic text movement (and for inserting empty lines from normal mode).

vim-unimpaired gives a mapping for that for ] (and [ to insert an empty lines above the cursor).

I use https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired for this.

Is it possible to install a Vim plugin (like https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired/tree/master)?

HJKL for movement, then mapped arrow keys to this (requires unimpaired): " Normal mode: indent or move line nmap [e nmap ]e nmap << nmap >> " Visual mode: indent or move selection vmap [egv vmap ]egv vmap >gv

Just now I was looking at the manual entry for vim-unimpaired, since I couldn't remember the incantation for swapping two lines. (It's ]e and [e for swap forward and swap backward.)

Switch buffers with :b or the ]b [b bindings from unimpaired.

and a nice toggle remap that I found here to edit Markdown without conceal: vim.keymap.set("n", "tc", ":setlocal =&conceallevel ? 'conceallevel=0' : 'conceallevel=2'", { desc = "[T]oggle [C]onceallevel"} )

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.

https://github.com/tpope/vim-unimpaired. I still use it a lot and it’s one of the few remaining vimscript plug-ins I have. It is also quite slow to load. It would be fantastic to have a Lua equivalent.
