I have vaf selecting sexprs, but again not just the token that I'm in (not sure if this is the correct term)

See https://github.com/guns/vim-sexp

@UPWHQK562 Thanks for the pointer - af does work, but as doesn't. How would I debug that (neovim, noob)

Are you using some other plugins? IIRC there have been some plugins that lead to conflicts with as -- I think treesitter? There is also ae.

ae does work as well. Can I somehow see what could be causing conflicts? I do have treesitter installed.

Just tried disabling treesitter, and yes, as starts working. But doesn't do the best of jobs with escaping quotes and leading #

I guess that's a limit of vim-sexp

See https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/issues/2966

I'm not aware of any shortcut to discovering conflicts. Good ol' debugging is all we have AFAIK.

Phew ... still a bit of an uphill battle from IDEA+Cursive, but slowly getting there 😄

Also try va( and vab And dab cab cib sab

Do you happen to use this which key plugin: https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim? I recently switched to that and when running :checkhealth at the end of the report I get a list of conflicting keymaps.

can also try :verbose map \ff to see what pops up

where \ff is whatever keymap you're trying

I'm using https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround too. A bit more generic plugin for non-Clojure work as well!
