Requirements
Installation
You can install human.vim in many ways that you know and prefer, just make sure to load it before all your other plugins to ensure you don't overwrite any options contained in those other plugins.
Usage
To use this plugin you just have to install it, load it correctly and you will start to notice small changes in Vim or Neovim that will make more sense by default.
Options
To see the many options contained in this plugin, look directly at the source code in the plugin/human.vim directory, where all the options are nicely organized. If you need to change the value of an option contained in this plugin, you must do so after loading this plugin, otherwise, your options value will be rewritten.
Mappings
Local leader
This plugin sets the <LocalLeader> key to a | (pipe), to avoid clash with default <Leader> key, only if the localleader variable has not been previously set.
Neovim's defaults
The following Neovim's default mappings are created for Vim:
nnoremap Y y$
nnoremap <C-L> <Cmd>nohlsearch<Bar>diffupdate<Bar>normal! <C-L><CR>
inoremap <C-U> <C-G>u<C-U>
inoremap <C-W> <C-G>u<C-W>
xnoremap * y/\V<C-R>"<CR>
xnoremap # y?\V<C-R>"<CR>
nnoremap & :&&<CR>
Navigation with buffers
Also, creates the following mappings to navigate between buffers, following the same Vim philosophy for navigating between tabs. Why not include it by default!
| VI Mode | Keymap | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | g + B | Go to the previous buffer |
| Normal and Insert | SHIFT + PAGE UP | Go to the previous buffer |
| Normal | g + b | Go to the next buffer |
| Normal and Insert | SHIFT + PAGE DOWN | Go to the next buffer |
Toggle options
Finally, creates the following mappings to toggle some Vim options that are useful on-demand but not all the time.
| VI Mode | Keymap | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | <underscore> + l | Toggle cursorline option |
| Normal | <underscore> + c | Toggle cursorcolumn option |
| Normal | <underscore> + s | Toggle spell option |
| Normal | <underscore> + w | Toggle wrap option |
