  • vim-visual-multi

    Multiple cursors plugin for vim/neovim

  • I use https://github.com/mg979/vim-visual-multi and it’s quite good. I tend to switch to the extend mode though.

  • dotfiles

    🏡 dotfiles (by akinsho)

  • A big shout to Akinsho in this post for coming up with a lot of the vim -> neovim mappings.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • atom-vim-mode-plus

    vim-mode improved

  • atom's vim-mode-plus occurrence modifier is the gold standard as far as i'm concerned.

  • helix

    A post-modern modal text editor.

  • What do you mean non default? All themes are built in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/tree/master/runtime/themes, for example if you want to use the VS Code theme add this to your config: config.toml theme = "dark_plus" Did you copy the runtime files across to the same place your executable lives? https://github.com/helix-editor/helix#installation .On Linux that is ~/.config/helix

  • traces.vim

    Range, pattern and substitute preview for Vim

  • 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.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
