Weekly Vim tips and tricks thread! #24
For those who wish to preview substitutions as they type à la Neovim inccommand, there's markonm/traces.vim.
- Why keeps you using vim vs neovim?
- How would I wrap a word, prefix it, and finally suffix it?
-
multiple cursors
Neovim has this built in with set inccommand=split, which is inspired by traces.vim, I believe.
-
What is the window called that comes up when you press q:
There's also markonm/traces.vim: Range, pattern and substitute preview for Vim
-
Would you be interested in multicursor support for Neovim?
Do you know traces.vim?
-
How to not ask for regex solutions all the time?
There is also https://github.com/markonm/traces.vim that shows the changes made by :substitute interactively.
-
I still want multiple cursors and I’ve been using Vim/neovim for 8 years!
Perhaps you mean traces.vim? I find it extends live feedback on substitutions and whatnot quite well. Useful for a lot of typical cases where you would expect native Vim/Neovim to provide live feedback but doesn’t. Also, I find the “Feature comparison” table for traces to be modest: it is even better / native is lacking.

Newbie question about :s
May want to use 'incsearch' & 'hlsearch' to help show patterns as you build them with /. Neovim will show substitution previews ('inccommand') and traces.vim will work with Vim.
-
Is there a plugin that makes searching and replacing stuff in vim easier?
The traces.vim plugin can help show substitution previews. Neovim may want to look at :h 'inccommand'
