I’ve been absolutely loving treesitter. It’s come a long way and it’s been absolutely great for things like folds, motions, highlights of course. Now that I’ve finally gotten familiar with writing my own queries I can extend the existing plugins. As an example I’ve added folds to blocks of multiple consecutive comments in JS and Ruby.

What are some of your favorites?

well, i eschewed motion plugins for so long, but i recently installed easy motion, to quote “maybe use it minimally so i don’t have to change my work flow too much”. i pretty much gave up using w, e, b and f within a day of installing it, replacing each of them with a more efficient reach for the same number of key presses. similar situation with ultisnips, thinking it’d be overkill for my needs. these both work really well with opening zsh commands in $editor too.

Someone else in the thread recommended pounce as well for that. I actually used to have hop installed, but I just never would use it. The default motions seem sufficient for me.

Neovim is a modal text editor forked off of Vim in 2014. Being modal means that you do not simply type text on screen, but the behavior and functionality of the editor changes entirely depending on the mode.

The most common and most used mode, the “normal mode” for Neovim is to essentially turn your keyboard in to hotkeys with which you can navigate and manipulate text. Several modes exist, but two other most common ones are “insert mode” where you type in text directly as if it was a traditional text editor, and “visual mode” where you select text.

Neovim seeks to enable further community participation in its development and to make drastic changes without turning it in to something that is “not Vim”. Neovim also seeks to enable embedding the editor within GUI applications.
