    mini.align

  • vim-fetch

    Make Vim handle line and column numbers in file names with a minimum of fuss

    vim-fetch (there was a time I couldn't live without that, and I still wonder why this is not built-in functionality)

  • vim-matchup

    vim match-up: even better % :facepunch: navigate and highlight matching words :facepunch: modern matchit and matchparen. Supports both vim and neovim + tree-sitter.

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

  • supertab

    For Codi, I migrated away to iron.nvim. Codi is really slick though :)

  • nvim-typora

    Discontinued Bindings for Typora's Markdown in Neovim

    It's far from my best work but nvim-typora has a table creator in it.

  • vim-swap

    Reorder delimited items.

    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-unimpaired

    unimpaired.vim: Pairs of handy bracket mappings

    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.

  • diffview.nvim

    Single tabpage interface for easily cycling through diffs for all modified files for any git rev.

    There is an issue to add directory diff to diff view.nvim.

  • vim-slime

    undotree

    nowadays I like the UI of telescope-undo more

  • nap.nvim

    Quickly move between next and previous NeoVim buffer, tab, file, quickfix, diagnostic, etc.

    Not sure if you saw this. It is my take on unimpaired, but I only use its navigation, not the options toggling or URL encoding.

    committia.vim https://github.com/rhysd/committia.vim opens up diff of staged changes automatically when using vim as your git commit msg editor

  • rainbow_csv.nvim

    Neovim port of mechatroner/rainbow_csv

    rainbow_csv.nvim

  • wilder.nvim

    A more adventurous wildmenu

    wilder.nvim is written in mostly vimscript even though it's called ".nvim". It also hasn't had a meaningful commit since May, 2022. I'd love to see this idea of a better wildmenu experience expanded and improved upon in lua/the neovim community.
