vim-swap VS neovim

Only one I use that hasn't been mentioned is a standalone vim-swap replacement. The existing ones all need treesitter (that I know of)

vim-swap provides an easy way to swap delimited items. It also provides textobjects targeting them, so deleting an argument becomes as easy as da,

I use this feature right now, and it simplifies a lot. I use t to open tabmode so I can create or destroy tabs easily. b, which I use more often, opens bufmode so I can switch the buffer in the current window, or delete it while preserving my layout. gs allows me to swap delimited items using hjkl. w is for visually switching between open splits. Etc etc

I recommend machakann/vim-swap. This plugin provides the way to swap function parameters, and text-objects that can be used to select parameters:

I've been using vim-swap for a while and it's simple enough: when on top of a delimited argument, you can hit g> or g< to swap right or left, respectively.

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
