One of the new hot posts on Reddit caught my attention recently: Your favorite mappings for CR, BS, TAB in normal mode?
Here is what I had in my config at that time:
<CR>- nothing<BS>- nothing<TAB>- cycle through buffers (in normal mode)
The first suggestion in the thread was about ciw, but that seemed not usable at all. Then I remembered a screencast from some time ago (I can’t find the source) but the guy used some key combination to visually select the body of the function. At first I thought it was a convenience mapping involving jumping to opened/closed parens. But it turned out, that you can use incremental_selection from nvim-treesitter to acheive that. And I also found another simillar discussion about that.
I figured I might as well map incremental_selection to <CR>, since I don’t use Enter in normal mode.
Here is a snippet of my nvim-treesitter config:
incremental_selection = {
enable = true,
keymaps = {
init_selection = "<CR>",
scope_incremental = "<CR>",
node_incremental = "<TAB>",
node_decremental = "<S-TAB>",
},
},
I am still getting used to this new mapping and, to be honest, I am not using it as much as I would expect. Most of the time I am hitting Enter accidentally and reallize I have this new amazing feature. Oh, well.
