How do I use bracket mappings for paired operations?

Explanation

vim-unimpaired by Tim Pope provides consistent bracket mappings for navigating paired items like quickfix entries, buffers, and more.

How it works

• ]q / [q — next/prev quickfix entry (:cnext/:cprev)
• ]b / [b — next/prev buffer (:bnext/:bprev)
• ]l / [l — next/prev location list entry
• ]f / [f — next/prev file in directory
• ]<Space> / [<Space> — add blank line below/above

Example

After :vimgrep /TODO/ **/*.py, use ]q and [q to navigate through results.

Tips

• Install: Plug 'tpope/vim-unimpaired'
• ]e / [e exchange (move) line down/up
• yos toggles spell checking, yon toggles numbers
• ]x{motion} XML-encodes, [x{motion} XML-decodes
• Consistent mnemonic: ] is forward/down, [ is backward/up
