## What it is
A Vim plugin providing operators and textobjects to add, delete, and replace surrounding pairs such as brackets, quotes, and HTML/XML tags. It is built on Vim's operator/textobject framework so actions are repeatable with the dot command.

## Use cases
- swap double quotes for single quotes around text in vim
- add brackets around a word in vim
- delete surrounding quotes or parentheses
- replace brackets with HTML tags in vim
- wrap a line in an HTML tag with attributes
- edit HTML and XML tag pairs in vim
- vim-surround alternative with dot-repeat support

## When to choose
- you edit bracketed or quoted text frequently in Vim or Neovim
- you need reliable add/delete/replace of HTML or XML tags
- you want vim-surround-like mappings with dot-repeatable operators

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Vim or Neovim
- you only need minimal surround functionality and prefer a tiny plugin like vim-surround

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: editor, developer-tools
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools
- platform: editor-plugin, cli
- tags: vim, vim-plugin, textobjects, operators, surround, brackets, html-tags
