  • vim-repeat

    repeat.vim: enable repeating supported plugin maps with "."

  • It is if you use repeat.vim (also by Tim Pope), which a lot of other plugins also rely on to make their operations repeatable.

  • vim-closetag

    Auto close (X)HTML tags

  • Community is so new, you might find that the lua equivalent of whatever vim plugin you already use is poorly maintained or has too many bugs by virtue of it being new. Of course neovim accepts vim plugins but the whole elevator pitch of neovim is "everything lua". One example of this in my case is something as simple as a close-tag for html/xml. Back when I used vim I use, and continue to use this repo to close html tags. Built by vim user for vim users. I couldn't get my lua equivalent nvim-ts-autotag to work for jsx. Perhaps that is a me issue (probably is) but just goes to show that sometimes you have to wrestle to acquire things you already have in your vim setup.

  • nvim-ts-closetag

    Use treesitter to auto close and auto rename html tag
