vim-highlightedyank VS vim-surround

Yesterday I discovered the YankTextPost autocommands-event and I get fairly excited. After having wondered how can I use it, I decided to write my own plugin for highlighting yanked text because it is a feature that I love. In-fact I have been using https://github.com/machakann/vim-highlightedyank for long time and I know that are other plugins around that serve for the same purpose.

Are you try https://github.com/machakann/vim-highlightedyank?

I was not aware of this and used vim-highlightedyank instead. I tried vim.highlight.on_yank just now. It seems that the highlight persists after pasting and the timeout works incorrectly when making successive yanks within the timeout period. So vim-highlightedyank could be a better choice if you prefer a longer timeout.

Someone also mentioned vim-highlightedyank. After a yank, that yanked region is highlighted for a brief second. Also provides good visual feedback

I don't know what exactly you mean by pasting around the second selection, but you can paste selections, registers or even files at specific lines with some vim-fu. If it's generic enough you could write a function or even keyboard shortcut if it's very simple.

I have set ",',(,[,{ in visual mode to cut the selection insert the pairs then paste it back as a very hacky solution, but it gets the job done. If you want something more advanced to add or change anything around the selection tpope has solved that with vim-surround[1].

vim-surround is likely the plugin answer.

If you have Tim Pope's vim-surround plugin, you can also add this to your Vimrc:

If you don't want to leverage Vim's package feature or you want to put your plugins in some other place, add the folder of the plugin to your :h 'runtimepath'. For example, if you download Tim Pope's vim-surround at ~\Documents\vim-surround, you should add this to your Vim configuration:

I'm using the vim-surround plugin by tPope and I know I can do ysw to surround words with whatever tag i want, I also know about cst (Change surrounding tag). But I'm wondering if there is a quick and easy way to wrap components. Some components might have closing tag and some components might not.

Is there any similar plugin to https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround?

Vim plugins (without UI) work out of the box. Hello vim-surround, argtextobj.vim and whatnot.

If you don't insist on staying in insert mode then you can use vim-surround, which is perfect for this: yse
