vim-unimpaired VS vim-matchup

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.

Then you have all the vimscript plugins, most of which work in neovim too--my favorite of these is vim-matchup

It seems like https://github.com/andymass/vim-matchup is a superior version of both of them, at least that's how it's advertized.

Have you tried vim-matchup?

andymass/vim-matchup - nicer %

Thank you for you answer! This is the best option I've found by far. But some aditional steps need to be done to enable this behavior. It is documented here vim-matchup

vim-matchup does both of this things

If you don't wanna deal with matchparen, you could also consider using vim-matchup, which has better performance than matchparen and can match way more tokens and keywords.

vim-matchup improves these motions.and has a lot of nice features.

vim-matchup is written in lua, isn't it? https://github.com/andymass/vim-matchup/tree/master/lua
