Launch remote yanking from a different keybinding #25

Closed agenbite closed 7 months ago

agenbite commented 7 months ago

Hi, I'm loving this plugin! I'm mostly a newbie in nvim and I was wondering how can I launch the remote operations with a different key than 's'. My usecase is that I use nvim as a pager inside other app and "s" is already bound. A :leap-remote-yank command that I could bind to, e.g. C-s, would solve my issue. Is that even possible?

Hi! I don't understand, you trigger remote yanking with y (spooky just defines text objects - :help text-objects). E.g. to yank a remote inner word (iw), via targeting an ab pair in it, you type: yirwab (= y [operator] + irw [special text object defined by spooky] + ab [the actual leaping motion to mark the reference point]).

Hi, thanks for your reply and sorry for the vagueness in my question. I'm using things like the yirwab and it's great. What I was wondering is if there is a way to launch leap-spooky in directly from the ex-line.

The usecase is that I'm using vim as a pager inside my mail client. Then, while I'm reading a message, I'd like to yarw (copy a remote word or line), but r is bound to replying the email, so I can't do it. It'd be great to be able to call the remote selection part of leap-spooky as an independent command.

I just discovered a way to enable a passthrough mode in my mail client which allows me to do everything I want in the pager. Closing this now, thank you so much!
