Introduction

My neovim configuration, plugins and some other vim useful stuff (mainly taken from Practical Vim: Edit Text at the Speed of Thought).

Install

You need to installl npm (some language server needs it).

Just run:

make

And it will install all plugins and configs. It will overwrite the current configs and plugins.

Project wide substitution

• vim -o [files list or regex]
• argdo %s,[old-text],[new-text],ge
• argdo update

Macros

• Start recording macro : q[register]
• Stop recording macro : q
• Execute macro: @[register]
• Execute macro on parallel: :[range]normal @[register]

Perform action inside a text object

Pattern: [action]i[delimiter]

The delimiter is what defines where the text object start and where it ends.

The idea is that you are performing an action inside (just remember that i means inside) the text object that is enclosed by the delimiter.

Examples:

• Start change inside braces: ci{
• Delete the contents of a string: di"
• Yanking everything inside parentheses: yi(

Perform action until a char is found

Pattern: [action]t[char]

Examples:

• Delete everything until a { is found and start editing: ct{
• Delete everything until a ( is found: dt(
• Yanking everything until a ) is found: yt)

Forcing a tab

When tabs are being replaced by spaces it can be hard to force a tab. On INSERT mode just use: [C-v]TAB.

This can be used to force any special character.

FTPlugin

It is an awesome way to have different ways to configure vim according to the file type.
