A Neovim plugin written in Lua for adding, changing, and deleting surrounding delimiter pairs like quotes, parentheses, HTML tags, and function calls. It supports dot-repeat, buffer-local mappings, and Tree-sitter/Lua pattern-based surrounds.

Use cases

  • wrap a word in parentheses in neovim
  • change surrounding quotes in vim
  • delete surrounding html tags
  • add function call around text
  • replace nearest quotes with brackets
  • vim surround plugin for neovim

When to choose

  • you use Neovim 0.8+ and want modern surround functionality
  • you need dot-repeatable surround operations
  • you want Tree-sitter or Lua pattern-based custom surrounds

When to avoid

  • you use vanilla Vim rather than Neovim
  • you prefer built-in mini.surround or other alternatives
