Random plugins to consider

[kergoth]

• https://github.com/shawnaxsom/vim-quickly
• https://github.com/stefandtw/quickfix-reflector.vim

• GitHub - AndrewRadev/deleft.vim: Delete a wrapping if-clause, try-catch block, etc. and shift left.
• GitHub - AndrewRadev/splitjoin.vim: A vim plugin that simplifies the transition between multiline and single-line code
• GitHub - AndrewRadev/switch.vim: A simple Vim plugin to switch segments of text with predefined replacements
• GitHub - kassio/neoterm: Wrapper of some vim/neovim's :terminal functions.
• GitHub - kkoomen/vim-doge: (Do)cumentation (Ge)nerator 15+ languages 📚 Generate proper code documentation skeletons with a single keypress. ⚡️🔥
• GitHub - Konfekt/FastFold: Speed up Vim by updating folds only when called-for.
• GitHub - kshenoy/vim-signature: Plugin to toggle, display and navigate marks This shows marks in the sign column and adds a number of convenience mappings for dealing with marks. Really quite nice, if I used marks. Maybe I’d use them more with this installed?
• GitHub - liuchengxu/vista.vim: Viewer & Finder for LSP symbols and tags
• GitHub - machakann/vim-sandwich: The set of operator and textobject plugins to search/select/edit sandwiched textobjects.
• GitHub - neoclide/coc.nvim: Intellisense engine for vim8 & neovim, full language server protocol support as VSCode
• GitHub - ntnn/vim-foldexpr A collection of filetype-specific folding expressions, as an alternative to often slow syntax based folding. It’d require testing, though, as foldexpr can be slow too, depending on the particular expression/function. Also sets foldtext specially for some types.
• GitHub - rhysd/conflict-marker.vim: Weapon to fight against conflicts in Vim. Highlight, jump, and resolve conflict markers.
• GitHub - rhysd/reply.vim: REPLs play nicely with :terminal on Vim and Neovim
• GitHub - samoshkin/vim-mergetool: Efficient way of using Vim as a Git mergetool
• GitHub - terryma/vim-multiple-cursors: True Sublime Text style multiple selections for Vim
• GitHub - tpope/vim-projectionist: projectionist.vim: Granular project configuration
• GitHub - tpope/vim-speeddating: speeddating.vim: use CTRL-A/CTRL-X to increment dates, times, and more
• GitHub - welle/context.vim: Vim plugin that shows the context of the currently visible buffer contents
  • Consider the off-screen feature of andymass/vim-matchup as an alternative to context.vim
• GitHub - wsdjeg/vim-fetch: Make Vim handle line and column numbers in file names with a minimum of fuss Makes it so vim somefile.c:123:2 works, to make working with stack traces and the like easier. I’ve worked around this in some cases by using my vimerrors script, but that requires piping.
• GitHub - zhimsel/vim-stay: Make Vim persist editing state without fuss This seems to be a more thorough persistence for vim editing views. Restores fold states, etc.

Specific features

These are features provided by multiple plugins where I need to compare and contrast to make a decision.

Delete buffer without altering layout

These are usually various takes on bclose

• vim-bbye. If I want to be able to do this, this seems like the best bet, a polished focused take on the original tip.
• vim-bufkill: this is a little hefty for what it does, including a couple bits for buffer switching/navigation too.

Fade inactive windows

• GitHub - TaDaa/vimade: An eye friendly plugin that fades your inactive buffers and preserves your syntax highlighting!
• GitHub - blueyed/vim-diminactive: Vim plugin to dim inactive windows

Fake clipboard for vim without clipboard support

• https://github.com/Jorengarenar/fauxClip
• https://github.com/kana/vim-fakeclip

Anti-FZF

Useful if I ever move away from fzf into more stock functionality.

• vim-tinyMRU slightly nicer than :oldfiles, as it provides commands with tab completion from the oldfiles mru list.

Archived

• GitHub - roxma/vim-tmux-clipboard: seamless integration for vim and tmux’s clipboard I don't like that this transparently replaces the existing one, I'd rather it was explicit.
• GitHub - romainl/vim-qf: Tame the quickfix window
• https://github.com/sunaku/vim-shortcut
• GitHub - Osse/double-tap: Vim plugin that makes it easier to deal with automatically inserted comments Hit enter to create a new line, vim inserts the comment header, then if you hit enter a second time within a short period without entering anything else, it’ll drop the header. This sounds really handy, but at the same time I do intentionally insert blank comment lines as a separator between commented blocks, so this could interfere with that. Would need to test it.
• GitHub - fsharpasharp/vim-dirvinist: Combine vim-projectionist with vim-dirvish!
• GitHub - igemnace/vim-makery: A Vim plugin for managing your makeprgs. This is like projectionist, but focuses on commands for running linters and compilers.
• GitHub - junegunn/vim-slash: Enhancing in-buffer search experience Clears search highlight on CursorMove, visual mode star search, star search highlighting without moving.
• clever-f. While I like this, I'm already used to using ; and ,
• https://github.com/junegunn/vim-peekaboo. It's nice, but it's easy enough to run :reg too.
• GitHub - justinmk/vim-highlightedyank: fork of machakann/vim-highlightedyank … with less features. I like the simplicity, but it doesn't always highlight the correct region.
• GitHub - chrisbra/NrrwRgn: A Narrow Region Plugin for vim (like Emacs Narrow Region)
  . This is one that could potentially be useful, but I haven't often found myself with a pressing need to do it, either.
• vim-strip-trailing-whitespace - this is interesting as it only auto-strips whitespace from lines you're already modifying, which is much less invasive. Mucking with formatting of existing files is the main reason I don't automate whitespace stripping as is. That said, this isn't a huge issue in my projects anyway, so I'm not sure I care.
• https://github.com/gpanders/vim-oldfiles. Looks nice, but I don't often use it. Also, FZF provides its own version.
• readline.vim - compare to vim-rsi. Doesn't add enough to make it worthwhile for me.
• redir.vim. Went with scratch below as it also works without a command. Same idea though.
  • scratch.vim. Added to my config. Will see if I end up actually remembering to use it or not going forward.
• GitHub - joereynolds/vim-minisnip: Lightweight snippet manager Potential ligher alternative to neosnippet.
• GitHub - liuchengxu/vim-clap: Modern performant generic finder and dispatcher for Vim and NeoVim
• GitHub - mcchrish/nnn.vim: Fast and featureful file manager in vim/neovim powered by nnn
• GitHub - romainl/vim-cool: A very simple plugin that makes hlsearch more useful.. Auto-clears search highlight. Installed. I like that this is a completely transparent improvement for workflow with no adaptation necessary. It makes it worth enabling hlsearch for me.
• GitHub - romainl/vim-qlist: Persist the results of :ilist and related commands via the quickfix list.
• GitHub - wellle/tmux-complete.vim: Vim plugin for insert mode completion of words in adjacent tmux panes
• vim-exchange. I actually really like this, particularly the use of the operator, but you can get a good chunk of the way there with visual mode paste, so I'm not sure how often I'd use it. If I end up wishing I had it in the future I'll reconsider. Pass.
