I mostly edit php files, using neovim with kickstarter.nvim loading lazy, phpactor & nvim-treesitter. I believe nvim-treesitter is what ends up being responsible for auto-indentaion. Indeed if I change this (pre-configured) line under the nvim-treesitter config options: indent = { enable = true, ...

I'm using neovim and a init.lua file. In what follows ▮ will indicate the cursor: for i in range(1,5): print(i▮ Then I press o: for i in range(1,5): print(i) ▮ Then I press backspace: for i in range(1,5): print(i) ▮ So far so good. Now I press o: for i in range(1,5): print(...

I want to write a command to do the following: Make a visual selection. Call a command on the visual selection. By way of example, I'd like to call vat to visually select around the current tag, and then use Limelight to highlight it. Attempt #1: vim.api.nvim_create_user_command('HighlightTagBl...

I really enjoy coc-pyright and use it all the time for everything. But it can't jump to Pytest fixture definitions, and there are no plans to include such a feature. Pyright doesn't include any knowledge of third-party libraries beyond what is provided to it in type stubs or type annotations, an...

What works (normal mode): Search/highlight the word the cursor is on. Replace the word the cursor is on. Note that the word doesn't get erased when I get prompted to replace it, allowing me to make a small correction to the existing word. I obviously have a choice to erase it and input a desire...

About three years ago, I had gathered chunks of code from the net and made my init.vim config file. Now, with Lua released, I am unable to convert it. And it's down to you folks whether you can help me. You are my last hope. Yes, I've read the documentation and whatnot. Still, I don't get it. Mos...

I want to have something similar to EMACS tab behavior (described in help indentkeys-format) but I still want to be able to input more tabs if I want. I thought that adding !0<Tab> to indentkeys/cinkeys would do the trick but it totally hijacks the Tab key even when it is not the first character ...

Probably quite simple. But I am quite confused from all telescope's terms. There is https://github.com/davvid/telescope-git-grep.nvim which allow for non-fuzzy search, and there is live grep which allows for fuzzy search if you know how to use it. But it is on all files inside certain directory. ...

I have been using Vim for about 2 years on my personal C++ project on Ubuntu with great success. I build using g++ and make, as my build system. In vim, I can build the project without problem using :make. My personal project has about 200 files. In my job, the project I'm working on has 7 millio...

When I open some file I see a list of plugins shown on the whole window (screenshot below). I get tired of wasting my time to press few keys to hide this list: several times Space each time. No error then when the file opened or other bugs follows, only that list of plugins each time. How to hide...

I want a simple command that changes the range that the user selected to a string I set (with possibly differently number of lines) - or adds lines if it is more. The following code does nothing but randomly inserts newline. What went wrong? class Plugin(object): def __init__(self, nvim): ...

I come from the following problem: I'm using Neovim (0.8.3) with AstroNvim as plugin/everything-manager.

I am having issues with pasting text from the clipboard into vim (v7.4) on an HPC cluster using Centos, which I have logged into using MTPuTTY. I still get the same error when I'm logging in via MobaXterm. This is the result of pasting into e.g. sublime text: Which is what's correctly on the cli...

Is there any way to turn on tab completion for the various ++[flag] flags that some commands take? For example, :e ++ff=unix whatever.txt overrides fileformat to unix for whatever.txt, but :e ++<Tab> just starts doing file completion for me. Single-plus completion for something like :new +<Tab> w...

I love g;, but often I find myself repeatedly doing g; until the screen changes. The reason for this is that I am often editing in two different places in the file. If I think ahead, I should set marks at the two places, but I usually forget to do this. Also, I don't know how many edits I made at...

I started writing a help file for various vim commands that I know I'll forget. Over the last 7+ years it's grown to ~1600 lines and is starting to become unwieldy I've been trying to split it into one file per topic, similar to the vim help files eg user01.txt. I copied one of the topics, calle...

I have a vim 8.2 on a Gentoo Linux running on a more or less 8 years old PC. I almost never have a performance issue with vim, unless you open a one-line huge xml oder json file, but those are vary rare cases. My team has started using typescript and so many of our javascript files have been tr...

I have a CSV filled with text messages, and I want to be able to easily filter by sender/receiver.

I was looking at the documentation for search() (:help search()). I noticed that there is a "z" flag: 'z'    start searching at the cursor column instead of zero When the 'z' flag is not given, searching always starts in column zero and then matches before the cursor are skipped. What does th...

I open a simple HTML file and navigate to a section of the file where I want to delete a character.

How can I move (navigate) between Markdown ATX-style headers?

Before you start reading. Before having answers, I thought vimdiff was a binary program because I'm used to Debian's file, which seems not to honor POSIX (but I didn't knew); but then I used macOS 10.14 file, which seems to honor POSIX (without me knowing such). The original post. Read in this...

I move around using the arrows ←↓↑→, never really got used to the hjkl thing. I know I'm supposed to use the hjkl thing. When hitting ↓, it reaches a point where the caret is on the lower side of the display, until I hit some ↑ hits. Most of the time I need more context down. How do you move th...

Here is the list of experiments I performed that shows that <Bar> is treated as literal <Bar> in some commands but it is treated as | in the :command command.

I've disabled my arrow keys, and am finally getting used to hjkl (for the longest time I'd always hit j and k the wrong way around - just seemed more natural for some reason). In normal mode I'm fine with it, but not being able to move the cursor in insert mode is killing me. Frequently I want ...
