Support for Text Objects #13

Open techniq opened 8 years ago

techniq commented 8 years ago

I'm creating an issue to track this feature. See Text objects (only in Visual mode or after an operator) in issue #1

These are a few of my commonly used ones:

ciw - change in word
viw - visual select in word
- I typically use this followed with yank and paste
ci( or ci) - change in parens
- Useful to change function arguments or if/switch conditions, etc
ci< or ci> - change in angle brackets
- Useful to change html, for example, change <div> to 
cit - change in tag
- Example Some | text: If cursor is l, ciw will replace Some text inside

Support text objects needs some refactoring. I'll get to this one later.

Desperately want this. I'll name my first born after you if you do it.

ctX - change till X, moves forward
cTX - change till X, moves backward
cfX - change till X (including X), moves forward
cFX - change till X (including X), moves backward

Parts of text objects are supported in 1.3.1. See #1 - "Text objects (only in Visual mode or after an operator)" for detail.

aioutecism commented 8 years ago

@Beatusvir "Till" is not a "text object" and is supported several versions before.

Just want to say thanks for the partial support for text objects, the stuff that is in there seems to work well.

I'll add another vote for the visual select stuff which is still missing like viB, vi(, etc. Useful for confirming the operation in some situations instead of going straight ahead with c or d.

aioutecism commented 8 years ago

@gentius Yes, visual mode support and word/sentence/paragraph support is missing now. Going to add them soon.

I like to use vip and vap which prevents me from using this particular extension.

Version 1.31.0 has just been released today which enables tag-style text objects (cit, dit etc). Please give it a test run and let us know how it works for you.
