    In addition to this, I also installed a plugin recently that shows the active marks on the line just before the line numbering. It is actually the most recent plugin I installed: https://github.com/kshenoy/vim-signature
  • Marks are silent; how to make them noisy?

    I use vim-signature. Everytime I hit ma, it places an a on the left column. That instant visual feedback is helpful for me.
  • Marks list?
    4 projects | /r/vim | 15 Jul 2021
    It's a plugin... But vim-signature ( https://github.com/kshenoy/vim-signature ) might be a good choice.
  • Best autocmd(or other event) for adding highlight to mark?
    1 project | /r/neovim | 5 Jun 2021
    I use https://github.com/kshenoy/vim-signature
  • How do you navigate forwards and backwards between positions?
    2 projects | /r/vim | 22 May 2021
    I think you mean vim-signature.
  • Can you place a mark of same letter in different places and cycle through them?
    2 projects | /r/vim | 25 Apr 2021
    For example, placing the mark 'a' on lines 15,40,120,200 and then cycle through them as you keep calling on that mark 'a'. I've realized the main problem with how vim's native marks work is they are easily forgettable and delicate as you can easily override a previously set mark. I recently started using the plugin vim-signature and the ability to set symbol-markers in different locations and cycle through them is personally a game changer. I want to see if it's possible to do the same with letter keys, so calling on the mark 'q' will cycle through all the areas marked with it, rather than overriding and creating a new mark.

  • A micro plugin for highlighting yanked text in Vim9.
    4 projects | /r/vim | 29 May 2023
    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.
  • Is there a setting to highlight text that you just yanked?
    1 project | /r/vim | 12 Dec 2022
    Are you try https://github.com/machakann/vim-highlightedyank?
  • Highlight yanked text
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 17 Feb 2022
    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
