What is Your Preferred Vim Setup When Writing Code in Raku?
My vim looks like most peoples, I guess. I have a few plugins to make things pretty, eg. LightLine and IndentGuides, and I use Syntastic for linting. I tried Ale but found it too annoying in practice.

Alternative to vim-textmanip plugin? (move selected blocks of text)
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).

How to create a line downwards without changing location of cursor?
vim-unimpaired gives a mapping for that for ] (and [ to insert an empty lines above the cursor).

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

What do you really use to steer the cursor?
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

LPT: RTFM. I routinely find something useful every time I read not only what I was looking for, but also something adjacent
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.)

How do you manage buffers ?
Switch buffers with :b or the ]b [b bindings from unimpaired.

Markdown syntax + conceal on `.md` files
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"} )

Using preconfigured distro vs rolling your own config
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.

Which vim plugins do not have a lua equivalent yet?
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.
