Unimpaired move up and down ([e and ]e)

[jzelinskie]

I'm a big fan of remapping the arrow keys to be more useful in normal and visual mode.
I typically map them to move current line left, right, up, down.

Here's a snippet of lua that demonstrates what exactly I do in neovim:

          nmap('<Up>',    '[e')
          vmap('<Up>',    '[egv')
          nmap('<Down>',  ']e')
          vmap('<Down>',  ']egv')
          nmap('<Left>',  '<<')
          nmap('<Right>', '>>')
          vmap('<Left>',  '<gv')
          vmap('<Right>', '>gv')

[e and ]e come from unimpaired, but I noticed these were missing from Helix.

Is this a duplicate of #2245?

Yep! Thanks a bunch!

I was able to reproduce the mapping like this:

[keys.normal]
"up"= ["keep_primary_selection","extend_line","yank","move_line_up","open_above","normal_mode","replace_with_yanked", "move_line_down", "move_line_down", "extend_line", "delete_selection", "move_line_up", "move_line_up"]
"down" = ["keep_primary_selection","extend_line","delete_selection", "paste_after", "move_line_down"]
"left" = "unindent"
"right" = "indent"

"down" = ["keep_primary_selection","extend_line","delete_selection", "paste_after", "move_line_down"]
"left" = "unindent"
"right" = "indent"

Thanks for this.

For me, up works perfectly but down leaves the cursor on the line below where it should be, making repeated movements tricky. I tried removing "move_line_down" but it messes up even more.

Yeah, I definitely hit corner cases with this configuration regularly. I haven't spent the time to figure out what's wrong.
