Find a char, across lines

TIP: If you like Fanf,ingTastic; and want to share the W00t!, I'm grateful for http://of-vim-and-vigor.blogspot.com/[beverages].

Fanf,ingTastic; is a Vim plugin that enhances the builtin +F+ +f+ +,+ +T+ +t+ and +;+ keys by allowing them to wrap over lines with the full gamut of normal, visual and operator pending mode supported. This is all the default configuration of Fanf,ingTastic; provides, however the following enhanced functionality can be enabled through configuration options:

• Case insensitivity Fanf,ingTastic; is case sensitive by default but can be set to ignore case so that +fx+ will match either x'' orX''.

• Aliases Fanf,ingTastic; allows you to create aliases which specify a set of characters that will be scanned for when FfTt;, is used on that alias. For example:

• :FanfingTasticAlias b ()

  :FanfingTasticAlias B {}

• would allow +fb+ to search forward to the next ('' or)'' character (spanning lines as necessary). Likewise, +TB+ would scan backwards (spanning lines) to place the cursor just to the right hand side of the {'' or}'' character prior to the cursor's current position. Of course, with both of these aliases enabled, the user will not be able to find plain b'' orB'' characters with the fFtT;, commands.

NOTE: Fan,fingTastic; depends on Tim Pope's [repeat] plugin for accurate dot operator support in Vim. At this stage, the f,ing commands cannot be composed with the dot operator within a :norm command.
