📦 Installation

• lazy

{ 
    'fedepujol/move.nvim',
    opts = {
        --- Config
    }
}

• paq

'fedepujol/move.nvim';

⚙️ Configuration

You can use the default's (leaving the setup function empty)

require('move').setup({})

or customizing it

require('move').setup({
    line = {
        enable = true, -- Enables line movement
        indent = true  -- Toggles indentation
    },
    block = {
        enable = true, -- Enables block movement
        indent = true  -- Toggles indentation
    },
    word = {
        enable = true, -- Enables word movement
    },
    char = {
        enable = false -- Enables char movement
    }
})

ℹ️ By default, every option is enabled except char movement. ⚠️ Disabling line/block/word/char movements, will not generate the commands.

🔌 Integration

Legendary.nvim

Thanks to hinell to point this out:

Note: Don't set up the keys like above if you're using legendary

local opts = { noremap = true }
require('legendary').setup({
    keymaps = {
        { "<A-k>", ":MoveLine -1", description = "Line: move up", opts },
        { "<A-j>", ":MoveLine 1", description = "Line: move down", opts },
        ...
    }
})

Mention

There is an original and more feature rich plugin (written in VimScript):

vim-move.
