Sibling-swap.nvim: swaps closest siblings with Tree-Sitter

Neovim plugin to swap places of siblings, e.g., arguments, parameters, attributes, pairs in objects, array's items e.t.c., which located near and separated by allowed_separators or space.

Zero-config (almost): No need to setup specific language – should works from scratch with all languages supported by Tree-Sitter;
Simple: Just grab this node and move;
Sticky-cursor: The cursor follows the text on which it was called;
Smart: Able to replace operand in binary expressions and Mathematical operations to opposite[^1].
Dot-repeat: Dot-repeat and v:count for all keymaps

[^1]: If you want to swap operand and operators with by one key from anywhere in binary expressions, look at binary-swap.nvim

Requirements

Installation

With packer.nvim:

use({
  'Wansmer/sibling-swap.nvim',
  requires = { 'nvim-treesitter' },
  config = function()
    require('sibling-swap').setup({--[[ your config ]]})
  end,
})

Configuration

Default config

local DEFAULT_SETTINGS = {
  allowed_separators = {
    ',',
    ';',
    'and',
    'or',
    '&&',
    '&',
    '||',
    '|',
    '==',
    '===',
    '!=',
    '!==',
    '-',
    '+',
    ['<'] = '>',
    ['<='] = '>=',
    ['>'] = '<',
    ['>='] = '<=',
  },
  use_default_keymaps = true,
  -- Highlight recently swapped node. Can be boolean or table
  -- If table: { ms = 500, hl_opts = { link = 'IncSearch' } }
  -- `hl_opts` is a `val` from `nvim_set_hl()`
  highlight_node_at_cursor = false,
  -- keybinding for movements to right or left (and up or down, if `allow_interline_swaps` is true)
  -- (`<C-,>` and `<C-.>` may not map to control chars at system level, so are sent by certain terminals as just `,` and `.`. In this case, just add the mappings you want.)
  keymaps = {
    ['<C-.>'] = 'swap_with_right',
    ['<C-,>'] = 'swap_with_left',
    ['<space>.'] = 'swap_with_right_with_opp',
    ['<space>,'] = 'swap_with_left_with_opp',
  },
  ignore_injected_langs = false,
  -- allow swaps across lines
  allow_interline_swaps = true,
  -- swaps interline siblings without separators (no recommended, helpful for swaps html-like attributes)
  interline_swaps_without_separator = false,
  -- Fallbacs for tiny settings for langs and nodes. See #fallback
  fallback = {},
}

Options

Separators

allowed_separators: list of separators for detecting suitable siblings. 'Separators' meaning unnamed treesitter node. If you need to change separator to the opposite value (e.g., in binary expressions), set it like key = value. If you want to disable something separator - set it to false.

Example:

require('sibling-swap').setup({
  allowed_separators = {
    -- standart
    '=',
    -- with opposite value
    ['>>'] = '<<',
    ['<<'] = '>>',
    -- disable
    ['&'] = false,
  }
})

Keymaps

use_default_keymaps - use default keymaps or not. keymaps - keymaps by default.

If you want to change it, here is two way to do it:

Change it in options (like above). Be sure what use_default_keymaps is 'true';
Add vim.keymap.set('n', 'YOUR_PREFER_KEYS', require('sibling-swap').swap_with_left) anywhere in your config. Be sure what use_default_keymaps is 'false';

Injected languagas

ignore_injected_langs: 'true' is not recommended. If set to 'true', plugin will not to recognize injected languages, e.g. blocks of code in markdown, js in html or js in vue.

Here is two reason to set it 'true':

If you no work with filetypes allowing injected languages; If you want to be able to swap node with injected language when cursor is placed on injected, e.g.:

<template>
  <app-item @click="clic | kHandler" class="class" />
  |
  <!-- The 'clickHandler' is a javascript and it have not any -->
  <!-- siblings. If 'ignore_injected_langs' is 'false', the plugin will do nothing. -->
  <!-- If 'ignore_injected_langs' is 'true', attribute '@click="clickHandler"' will -->
  <!-- swap. But in section 'script' or 'stile' the plugin will not working. -->
</template>

<script setup>
const one = { tw|o: 'two', one: 'one' }
                |
    // If 'ignore_injected_langs' is 'true', Tree-Sitter recognize
    // all <script> section as injected language and it will be
    // ignored.
</script>

Fallback

You can pass control to a third-party plugin or custom function if the node search process finds matches with the nodes listed here.

---@class FallbackItem
---@field enable boolean|function(node: TSNode): boolean
---@field action function(node: TSNode, side: string): void

require('sibling-swap').setup({
  ---@field fallback table<string, table<string, FallbackItem>>
  fallback = {
    ['javascript'] = {
      string = {
        enable = function(node)
          -- some condition
          return true
        end,
        action = function(node, side)
          -- Do something instead of swapping
        end,
      },
    },
  },
})

Warning

Plugin work with SIBLINGS. Its meaning what any siblings which located near, has ‘allowed’ separator or space between each other and placed in same level in ‘treesitter’ tree - are suitable for swaps. It allows no setup each language by separate. It supposed, what you understand it before using.

Examples:

function test (a) { return a; }
//        |
//  cursor here and you trigger 'swap_with_right', code will transform to
function (a) test { return a; }
// because 'test' and '(a)' on same line, on one level in tree and has space between each other

<p class="swap" is="left">Swap me</p>
<!--   |         -->
<!-- cursor here and you trigger 'swap_with_left', code will transform to -->
<class="swap" p is="left">Swap me</p>
<!-- because 'class="swap"' and 'p' on same line, on one level in tree and has space between each other -->
