I think it would be awesome to have a section where you can share small code snippets (and maybe just tips?). I think it would be very helpful in the same way awesome-neovim for plugins are awesome. You can have a collection of great tips without having to looking at different reddit threads.
These are some examples of tips you could include. These are just some i found in my config, so you'd obviously have to clean them up and rewrite all in lua:
this is a small function i wrote to paste in place, useful when you want to paste something inside of brackets:
-- remember last position when opening filevim.cmd[[
au BufReadPost * silent! normal! g`"zv
]]
keybindings, some of these are well known, but its still nice to have them in the same place:
use jk for esc,
use space for leaderkey keymap("v", "p", '"_dP', opts) dont save text you've pasted over
move unusual bindings to make D dd, Y yy and V vv consistent:
vim.cmd([[
nnoremap Y y$
nnoremap yy Y
nnoremap V v$
nnoremap vv V
vnoremap yy Y
vnoremap V v$
vnoremap vv V
]]
center cursor while jumping between search results:
vim.cmd([[
noremap n nzz
noremap N Nzz
]]

```lua
local function paste_without_newlines()
local regestry_item = vim.api.nvim_eval('@"')
regestry_item = regestry_item:gsub("^[%s%c]*", "")
regestry_item = regestry_item:gsub("^[%s%c]*", "")
regestry_item = regestry_item:gsub("[%s%c]*$", "")
vim.api.nvim_paste(regestry_item, 1, 1)
end
vim.keymap.set({'n', 'v'}, "<c-p>", function()
paste_without_newlines()
end, { silent = false })
```
autocommands, I think alot of smaller plugins could be substitued by these small autocommands, if people just knew about them:
```lua
-- highlight
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('TextYankPost', {
group = 'bufcheck',
pattern = '*',
callback = function() vim.highlight.on_yank{timeout=150} end })
```
```lua
-- remember last position when opening file
vim.cmd[[
au BufReadPost * silent! normal! g`"zv
]]
```
keybindings, some of these are well known, but its still nice to have them in the same place:
use jk for esc,
use space for leaderkey
`keymap("v", "p", '"_dP', opts)` dont save text you've pasted over
move unusual bindings to make D dd, Y yy and V vv consistent:
```lua
vim.cmd([[
nnoremap Y y$
nnoremap yy Y
nnoremap V v$
nnoremap vv V
vnoremap yy Y
vnoremap V v$
vnoremap vv V
]]
```

I like this idea a lot, but I don't think an awesome list is the right place for it. Another repo containing all these tips would be better and we could link to it from this list.

IMHO, [TWIN](https://github.com/phaazon/this-week-in-neovim-contents) is a better place for that 🙂
@gbprod TWIN is amazing, but its kind of similar to reddit in that you the information is spread out. Already twin is on week 27, in a few years it will be hundreds. Also the tips cannot be altered, so youd have to add them to the newest TWIN if you want to make the slightest adjustment. Generally a weekly news letter isnt a the best way to store a collection of long term tips and scripts
In your opinion, what is the use of awesome-neovim at all, since TWIN already cover plugins aswell?
