Difftastic, a structural diff tool that understands syntax
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].

How do you manually install plugins
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:

How to select multiple lines which are a 'component' quickly?
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.

Linus Torvalds adds arbitrary tabs to kernel code
i want a diff tool that shows me exactly which tokens have changed, and which haven't, regardless of how they are laid out.
These already exist: https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic
when we get that, then we should get even less merge conflicts.
Counterintuitively, that is not the case. AST-merge is a much, much, much, much, much harder problem than AST-diff.
https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic?tab=readme-ov-file#can...
The fact that diffs can be used to drive a 3-way merge is in fact an accidental property that arises due to the sheer crudeness of the diff format. As soon as you start using more-sophisticated diff formats, solutions to "the diff problem" no longer lead directly to solutions to "the merge problem".

Prettier $20k Bounty was Claimed
If you're looking for a VS Code extension or a GitHub app, check out https://semanticdiff.com/. I'm a co-founder of this project.
If you prefer a CLI tool, check out https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic. It supports more languages, but doesn't recognize when code has been replaced by an equivalent version ("invariances"). So it will show some changes (e.g. replacing a character in a string with an escape sequence) even though they are technically equivalent.

Pijul: Version-Control Post-Git • Goto 2023
Shameless plug: I've written difftastic[1], a tool that builds ASTs and then does a structural diff of them. You can use it with git too.
It's an incredibly hard problem though, both from a computational complexity point of view, and trying to build a comprehensible UI once you've done the structural AST diff.

Always leave a trailing comma in Python lists, dicts, tuples
There is a diff tool called difftastic: https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic
The idea is that it does not show diff based on text change, but on syntastic meaning. For that, it uses tree-sitter.
I think it still shows the trailing comma in the situation as shown in the article, but it's quite different experience than the standard text based diff.
What are some alternatives?
nvim-autopairs - autopairs for neovim written in lua
delta - A syntax-highlighting pager for git, diff, and grep output
vim-sandwich - Set of operators and textobjects to search/select/edit sandwiched texts.
diffsitter - A tree-sitter based AST difftool to get meaningful semantic diffs
Neovim-from-scratch - 📚 A Neovim config designed from scratch to be understandable
neogit - An interactive and powerful Git interface for Neovim, inspired by Magit
tabout.nvim - tabout plugin for neovim
Visual Studio Code - Visual Studio Code
delimitMate - Vim plugin, provides insert mode auto-completion for quotes, parens, brackets, etc.
gumtree - An awesome code differencing tool
micro-editor - A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor
tree-sitter-cpp - C++ grammar for tree-sitter
