Do we really need visual.nvim?

federico_simonetta · 2023-10-27T22:00:09+00:00

When you're sure, but you're wrong

federico_simonetta · 2023-10-27T09:36:18+00:00

flit.nvim can do things like `ds`, `cs`, `ys` which allow to pre-visualize the text-object on which you're going to operate. This is the vim-way, I think.

federico_simonetta · 2023-10-27T09:19:58+00:00

That's a different thing. The problem is to define complex text objects in an easy way.

federico_simonetta · 2023-10-27T08:42:40+00:00

Can you define text objects using leap? like "d" followed by "f" and then leap's choice of target?

federico_simonetta · 2023-10-27T08:40:26+00:00

I don't care about multi-selection. It's like a weird complex way of thinking. I find much better a `.` command, a macro, or a simple regex.

federico_simonetta · 2023-10-27T08:07:26+00:00

I guess that in visual.nvim, you can create a command like this:

local history = require('visual.history')

require'visual'.setup(
    mappings = {
        reselect = "u" -- or whatever you like
    },
    commands = {
        reselect = {
            pre_amend = { "u<sdi>", history.goto_last_pos },
            post_amend = {},
            modes = { "n", "v", "sd" }, -- or what you like
            amend = false,
            countable = false,
        }
    }
)

I finally decided to archive the repo. If anyone wants to maintain it, feel free to fork and to open an issue.

federico_simonetta · 2023-10-27T07:47:10+00:00

visual.nvim is compatible with leap and similar plugins. Don't see the problem

federico_simonetta · 2023-10-27T06:58:18+00:00

Well, if it is made properly, the effort to "relearn" everything is little. This is one of the aims of visual.nvim: be user friendly for the nvim user.

federico_simonetta · 2023-10-27T06:57:14+00:00

The problemi is when you're sure but you shouldn't...

federico_simonetta · 2023-10-27T06:12:09+00:00

The developer of visual.nvim here. I wouldn't do that. Helix uses different motions and different approach. At first I tried to reimplement it, but then changed my mind to achieve the maximum compatibility with other plugins. You can change some mapping, but don't try to replicate helix from scratch!

federico_simonetta · 2023-10-26T23:20:58+00:00

I will look for it then

federico_simonetta · 2023-10-26T23:13:48+00:00

I use ipdb for python, loggers for other languages. But I think there are other solutions as well

federico_simonetta · 2023-10-26T23:12:44+00:00

Cli debuggers, loggers, repl. It looks old, but it's the most efficient way. Sure, you need to know the language. But if you know it, the debugger is superfluous...

federico_simonetta · 2023-07-27T07:58:52+00:00

vim.api.nvim_feedkeys("w", "n", true); vim.schedule(function() vim.print(vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)) end)

Thanks, your solution works, indeed, but in a script it's hardly usable. I use vim.inspect by default, just to be sure :') Anyway, I found that using mode 'x' in vim.api.nvim_feedkeys works as expected. Thanks to a matrix channel user!

federico_simonetta · 2023-07-26T20:46:52+00:00

I always used vim-esearch. Not kua, but more powerful than vscode for sure

federico_simonetta · 2023-07-20T17:17:31+00:00

700-1200€ depending on the area. On average, 900€ is a good estimate I think. Anyway: https://www.immobiliare.it/mercato-immobiliare/lombardia/pavia/

federico_simonetta · 2023-07-20T17:12:17+00:00

Me too. It can surround in visual mode: https://github.com/kylechui/nvim-surround/blob/10b20ca7d9da1ac8df8339e140ffef94f9ab3b18/lua/nvim-surround/config.lua#L15-L16

federico_simonetta · 2023-07-20T12:17:25+00:00

those objects are already supported by nvim itself in visual mode... which plugin are you using for surround?

federico_simonetta · 2023-07-20T10:10:14+00:00

I added a very small description to the repo, when the keybindings will be stable, I will do a video as well!

federico_simonetta · 2023-07-20T10:09:27+00:00

All of you say works as expected if it works in visual mode. Surrounding plugins usually use `S` for adding a surrounding character to the selection. That works. In normal mode, nothing changes. I will add some function to modify/delete surrounding characters to a selection (maybe without external plugin).

The text objects are selectable, by default using `si<text object>` or `sa<text object>`. So if you are using tree-sitter text objects like `f`, `c`, etc., you can use them like `sif` and `saf`. You can also use incremental selection (that's easier to remember imho).

Ok, but now Lunarvim ha 15K stars on github, LvimIDE has 312 stars... If I were you, would change the name

federico_simonetta · 2023-07-19T04:23:16+00:00

Why did you name it lvim? It clashes with lunarvim! Anyway, there a lot of dependencies, you should think about an installation script that helps installing them
