vim-repeat VS vim-unimpaired

which requires vim-repeat to be installed but otherwise silently does nothing extra.

Do you have vim-repeat? I think sneak should work with that.

e.g. in vim-surround you could just do something like ysiw_ to make a word italics or ysiw*w. (assuming you also have vim-repeat).

vim.keymap.set("n", "dj",require"dap".step_over). However, I have not had any luck with registering this with vim-repeat. I have tried following the solution here, but nothing seems to happen. Also, the README in the vim-repeat repo only gives an example of use with a mapping, which is not my case. I don't think this is specific to nvim-dap in particular, so has anyone been able to add dot repeat functionality to any lua function?

Hi all, I just wanted to share a short gist I wrote for plugin authors on how they can incorporate dot-repeat functionality directly into their plugins, without external dependencies like vim-repeat. In general, I'm open to any suggestions about writing style or content; I just wanted to share some things that I wish I knew when I started writing nvim-surround. Cheers!

vim-repeat: More power to the dot.

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.
