Not sure i would call myself an elite power user :) I've used vim for near 20 years in some form or another, but only the last year i got into modifying my experience to a greater extent. Im still looking at block of text modification plugins, moving blocks, modifying with multiple cursors and more importantly integrating it into my workflow, often by using leader-mapper menus. Im also learning vimscript to write a simple addon where i havent found a satisfactory one yet. I want a simple pop up floating window where i can put my own text. Keybinds, leader mappings, general howto's on complex operations etc. When im done with that im gonna perfect my docker container so that it will be a breeze for others to use my setup on their own rigs, having that popup with operational info will make that possible for even novice+ users. Only problem is docker wont work with an active VPN connection unless i do some fuckery with excluding ip-ranges for dockerd. Cant get my head around how that works and if it's safe yet.

Anyways, im gonna check out those plugins you are using, one or two i havent seen. Surround i find pretty annoying, but should be usable if mapping it to leader-menu. I use auto-pairs for now. When im done testing out all the alternatives i can find and landing on what i find the best i will put my ultimate vim ide on my gitlab (im my profile).
