How do you read long messages in :messages
I use tpope/vim-scriptease's :Messages instead.
-
highlight command in init,lua
Another great tool is the Scriptnames command from the vim-scriptease plugin. It dumps the output of :scriptnames into the quickfix list, letting you open all the files vim is reading to help with troubleshooting.

As you continue your journey into vim plugin dev, I'd recommend vim-lookup and vim-scriptease.

vim-visualrun: select some lines and run them as a Vim command
This seems related to the g= mapping from vim-scriptease. I personally also have the following two mappings defined in ftplugin/vim.vim:
-
Visual calculator function
FYI, tpope/vim-scriptease provides this bound as an operator g=. You may want to read that implementation to see what you can learn more advanced techniques for writing vimscript. With the operator, you can g=W to convert the WORD to a solved expression.

Vimscript devel support for Vim?
The "lookup" plugin should allow you to jump to identifiers: https://github.com/mhinz/vim-lookup (Which I just remembered I have and I am realizing I might have accidentally reimplemented a part of it at some point to get gf to work for autoloaded functions 😅)
-
Jumping to where something was set ( :verbose to quickfix )
I'd also recommend vim-lookup which lets you jump to definitions in vimscript using a similar method. Even populates the tag stack as if it were real tags.

How can you jump to a vimscript autoload function definition?
