vim-rsi VS vim-surround

that however may lead to suffering. You will have to change a lot of defaults and this can make you unable to work with default Vim. Try out https://github.com/tpope/vim-rsi and see if that will suffice.

I use vim.rsi by te legendary tpope.

You can you this plugin to get the same mappings in insert mode for Vim:

https://github.com/tpope/vim-rsi

You may be able to emulate it with cnoremap. See vim-rsi which is the set -o emacs version of what you want (but it also applies in insert mode).

I heavily rely on tpope/vim-rsi, which will provide you with to hop to the end of the line in insert mode

Look no further than the vim plugin master himself, Tim Pope: https://github.com/tpope/vim-rsi

I would just define whatever "standard text-editing keyboard shortcuts" you want in insert mode, and then just use insert mode as your "vim for note-taking". Kind of like Tim Pope's RSI but with the "standard" key bindings you want instead of bindings based on Emacs/readline.

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].

ysw https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround basically i surround the word with " So basically i wanted to surround the first word in line qoutes and then replace the first occurence of = with : Example:

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
