Select text (charwise with `v`, linewise with `V`, and blockwise with `CTRL-V`) and press customizable mapping to move in all four directions (left, right, down, up). It keeps Visual mode. - Normal mode. Press customizable mapping to move current line in all four directions (left, right, down, up). - Special handling of linewise movement: - Vertical movement gets reindented with `=`. - Horizontal movement is improved indent/dedent with `>` / `<`. - Cursor moves along with selection. - Provides both mappings and Lua functions for motions. See `:h MiniMove.move_selection()` and `:h MiniMove.move_line()`. - Respects `v:count`. Movement mappings can be preceded by a number which multiplies command effect. - All consecutive moves (regardless of direction) can be undone by a single `u`. - Respects preferred column for vertical movement. It will vertically move selection as how cursor is moving (not strictly vertically if target column is not present in target line). ## Installation This plugin can be installed as part of 'mini.nvim' library (**recommended**) or as a standalone Git repository. There are two branches to install from: - `main` (default, **recommended**) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled). - `stable` will be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase in `main` branch. Here are code snippets for some common installation methods (use only one):

With mini.deps

Github repo	Branch	Code snippet
'mini.nvim' library	Main	Follow recommended 'mini.deps' installation
	Stable
Standalone plugin	Main	add('echasnovski/mini.move')
	Stable	add({ source = 'echasnovski/mini.move', checkout = 'stable' })

With folke/lazy.nvim

Standalone plugin	Main	{ 'echasnovski/mini.move', version = false },
	Stable	{ 'echasnovski/mini.move', version = '*' },

With junegunn/vim-plug

Github repo	Branch	Code snippet
'mini.nvim' library	Main	Plug 'echasnovski/mini.nvim'
	Stable	Plug 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', { 'branch': 'stable' }
Standalone plugin	Main	Plug 'echasnovski/mini.move'
	Stable	Plug 'echasnovski/mini.move', { 'branch': 'stable' }

**Important**: don't forget to call `require('mini.move').setup()` to enable its functionality. **Note**: if you are on Windows, there might be problems with too long file paths (like `error: unable to create file : Filename too long`). Try doing one of the following: - Enable corresponding git global config value: `git config --system core.longpaths true`. Then try to reinstall. - Install plugin in other place with shorter path. ## Default config ```lua -- No need to copy this inside `setup()`. Will be used automatically. { -- Module mappings. Use `''` (empty string) to disable one. mappings = { -- Move visual selection in Visual mode. Defaults are Alt (Meta) + hjkl. left = '', right = '', down = '', up = '', -- Move current line in Normal mode line_left = '', line_right = '', line_down = '', line_up = '', }, -- Options which control moving behavior options = { -- Automatically reindent selection during linewise vertical move reindent_linewise = true, }, } ``` ## Similar plugins - [matze/vim-move](https://github.com/matze/vim-move) - [booperlv/nvim-gomove](https://github.com/booperlv/nvim-gomove)
