Vim’s modal editing system is very efficient for manipulating text with little keystrokes. Let’s say I had a list of URLs like the ones below, representing tabs. I could have the list as a text file, navigate them with arrow keys to move a text cursor, press enter
or another key to focus on the tab under the cursor, d
to cut a link (like cutting a file in a file explorer, or like how d
deletes or cuts text in Vim), and p
to put it in another position where the cursor is. I could select multiple lines to do d
or p
, or press y
to yank (copy) them to my clipboard.

Oil.nvim seems to be a good point of reference for this. Its a Neovim plugin that acts as a file explorer, where all the files are text listed in a vim buffer, and you can do d
y
or p
. I did a bunch of searches to see if Vimium Tridactyl or Surfing Keys can do this and nothing showed up. If they can, then an explanation would be helpful.
