vim-sneak VS vim-surround

Why not sneak or easymotion?

I've tried leap et al, but I still come back to sneak, and use that plugin's standard mappings for s and S.

I don't like many Vim plugins, but I absolutely must have sneak: https://github.com/justinmk/vim-sneak

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.

Nice, but you've reinvented the wheel :) https://github.com/goldfeld/vim-seek -> https://github.com/justinmk/vim-sneak -> https://github.com/ggandor/leap.nvim

By vim motions, do you mean native motions or extended motions with plugins like vim easymotion and vim sneak? Those are the two I've been trying out recently.

Please see https://github.com/justinmk/vim-sneak/pull/299

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
