Why nvim-gomove?

As many may know, mappings such as "ddp", and ":move" already exist as solutions to moving lines. What makes nvim-gomove any different, and what are it's goals?

nvim-gomove actually makes use of these same solutions, but just with a little more on top. It's a wrapper that polishes and tries to make these solutions as complete as possible, by dealing with folds, undoing, trailing whitespaces and reindenting for you.

It may not be for everyone, but it might be helpful for the few that would like it :)

Features

Moving and Duplicating (Vertically and Horizontally):

With the following additional features:

Usage

The default "smart" move mappings work this way:

MappingNormalVisualLine-VisualBlock-Visual
<A-h>Block LeftBlock LeftLine LeftBlock Left
<A-j>Line DownLine DownLine DownBlock Down
<A-k>Line UpLine UpLine UpBlock Up
<A-l>Block RightBlock RightLine RightBlock Right

<A-S-(h/j/k/l)> duplicates respectively

Configuration

require("gomove").setup {
  -- whether or not to map default key bindings, (true/false)
  map_defaults = true,
  -- whether or not to reindent lines moved vertically (true/false)
  reindent = true,
  -- whether or not to undojoin same direction moves (true/false)
  undojoin = true,
  -- whether to not to move past end column when moving blocks horizontally, (true/false)
  move_past_end_col = false,
}

Mappings

While there are default mappings, called "smart mappings" that are designed to be as intuitive as possible out of the box - that itself is built on "base" mappings which can serve as a framework for creating your own mappings. Check gomove/mappings/smart.lua as an example of the usage of the "base" mappings.

Example for Changing Default (Smart) Keybinds:

Just a reminder to set the option map_defaults = false in the setup function

Base Mappings:

Naming Convention:
Go, Normal/Visual, Move/Duplicate, Line/Block, Direction

Lines:

NameFunction
Vertical
<Plug>GoNMLine(Down/Up)In Normal Mode, Move current line down/up. Moves along folds.
<Plug>GoNVLine(Down/Up)In Visual Mode, Move selected lines down/up. Moves along folds.
<Plug>GoNDLine(Down/Up)In Normal Mode, Duplicate current line down/up.
<Plug>GoVDLine(Down/Up)In Visual Mode, Duplicate selected lines down/up.
Horizontal
<Plug>GoNMLine(Left/Right)In Normal Mode, Move current line to the left/right by (indent level).
<Plug>GoVMLine(Left/Right)In Visual Mode, Move selected lines to the left/right by (indent level).
<Plug>GoNDLine(Left/Right)In Normal Mode, Duplicate current line to the left/right. Duplicating left ignores whitespace at the start of the text that it duplicates.
<Plug>GoVDLine(Left/Right)In Visual Mode, Duplicate selected lines to the left/right. Duplicating left ignores whitespace at the start of the text that it duplicates.

Blocks:

NameFunction
Vertical
<Plug>GoNMBlock(Down/Up)In Normal Mode, Move current character down/up. Tries to avoid folds.
<Plug>GoVMBlock(Down/Up)In Visual Mode, Move selected characters down/up. Tries to avoid folds.
