vim-surround VS vim-visual-multi

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

vim-visual-multi has similar motions: in my mapping I go: ctrl+arrow_down > tab to enter selection mode > e to end of word -> y Although the pasting needs to be done to a block. Pasting to new document is ok though

vim-visual-multi (only the multiple-cursor support, I don't care about the other features)

I recommend this one https://github.com/mg979/vim-visual-multi

I know people say it's not necessary, but, for me personally, vim-visual-multi has been a vital part of my plugins and I use it QUITE a lot; maybe it's because I'm bad at Vim, but I basically can't live without the plugin

For 5. I think this is the usual multiple cursor plugin: https://github.com/mg979/vim-visual-multi It's a bit to learn and really powerful, but since it's a plugin and not a core feature it might not play nice with everything else.

I think I'm looking in the wrong place unfortunately, seems like the plugin I want to use (vim-visual-multi) may have issues with which-key 🙁
