scm-edit.nvim

Motions that feel good (to me) for editing s-expressions.

Lisps are uniquely poorly suited to the character & line-wise editing model Vim provides. Tree-sitter allows for a significantly better experience, operating on the nodes that represent the forms/expressions themselves.

This plugin aims to bring more idiomatic vim motions to s-expression traversal & editing.

Status

Just playin' around.

I have no hope or aspirations that this will ever become more than a pet project. Learning how to "correctly" structure a Lua nvim plugin. Maybe mess around with Fennel.

Switched back to using nvim-parinfer, which takes care of paren balancing. No current need to add any additional functionality here.
