allow controlling repeatability like vim-easy-align

[ninrod]

hi again @edkolev.

your awesome package is very close to mimic vim-easy-align in functionality. One functionality I miss comming from vim is the gaip*= vs gaip= where I can control the repeatability of the pattern, like this demo.

consider adding said functionality.

Hi!

This is a great suggestion! Here's a quick comparison between vim-easy-align and vim-lion user interfaces:

vim-easy-align:

• ga ip = Around the 1st occurrences
• ga ip 2= Around the 2nd occurrences
• ga ip *= Around all occurrences

vim-lion:

• 1 gl ip = 1st occurrence
• 2 gl ip = 1st & 2nd occurrences
• gl ip = all occurrences

Most notably, they take the count differently.

I'm more inclined to follow vim-lion's interface, I find it more in-line with other vim operators, which typically work as [count] operator {motion}. vim-easy-align instead works as operator {motion} interactively-prompt-user.

Ow, I did not know that. So there you go, there's already a way to do that. My search is complete. Thank you sir!
