vim-slash VS vim-unimpaired

I changed most of the plugins I used for the mini versions, they are simple and lightweight and have a very simple configuration pattern. Thank you so much u/echasnovski for your work and dedication. Taking this opportunity, I would like to make a suggestion, a mini version of vim-slash, that automatically clears search highlight when cursor is moved in insert mode.

I just switched to using packer and recently added the plugin junegunn/vim-slash. I like the "auto clear highlight" but don't like some of the key bindings declared in the plugin. The plugin seems to be "done" so I can just fork it but I'd like to know if there's a solution for any plugin so I can easily keep my plugins up to date without having to manually merge.

romainl seems to recommend https://github.com/junegunn/vim-slash as a more complete alternative. Use whatever makes you happy.

There's also vim-slash

Obviously use / and * where possible. https://github.com/junegunn/vim-slash makes this more bearable.

You can use "*" for this if you have either https://github.com/haya14busa/vim-asterisk Or https://github.com/junegunn/vim-slash

https://github.com/junegunn/vim-slash This is useful as heck :D

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.
