Moveline.nvim

Moveline is a simple plugin for moving lines up and down. It's written in Rust using my library nvim-utils.

Installation

Moveline can be installed using any Neovim package manager that supports build commands.

Lazy.nvim

{
    'willothy/moveline.nvim',
    build = 'make',
}

Packer.nvim

use('willothy/moveline', { run = 'make' })

Usage

Moveline does not set any keybinds. It simply exports four functions: up and down for moving single lines, and block_up and block_down for moving visual selections.

You can use these functions to set your own keybinds. Here's my setup:

local moveline = require('moveline')
vim.keymap.set('n', '<M-k>', moveline.up)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<M-j>', moveline.down)
vim.keymap.set('v', '<M-k>', moveline.block_up)
vim.keymap.set('v', '<M-j>', moveline.block_down)

Moveline functions accept counts. For example, with the keybinds above, typing 5<M-k> will move the current line up 5 lines.
