Block Nav plugin for Sublime Text 2. Copyright 2012 Jesse McCarthy http://jessemccarthy.net/.

Adds functionality to assist with navigating block structures in "braceless" languages like Ruby and Python where brace matching can not be used.

Adds a command that can be called from key bindings to navigate to the start / end of block structures such as classes, methods, functions, and blocks.

The operation of the plugin is based on indentation, so it will only work for well-indented code, that does not mix tabs and spaces.

USAGE:

See the keymap for bindings. It includes commands to navigate:

• Up and out (northwest), to find the beginning of the block structure that the current line is nested in.

• Up (north), for example to find the beginning of IF / ELSEIF blocks that correspond to ELSEIF / ELSE blocks. Or, when on a line of Ruby code containing an 'end' keyword for something like a method, to find the line where it started. When on the 'end' line for something like and IF expression with ELSIF / ELSE clauses, will navigate to start lines for intervening ELSIF / ELSE clauses on the way to the start line for the IF expression.

• Down (south), for example to find the beginning of ELSEIF / ELSE blocks that correspeond to IF / ELSEIF blocks.

• Down and in (southeast), to find the end of the block structure that begins on the current line.

Does not currently do anything when the cursor is on a line that contains only whitespace. Start with the cursor on a line that contains non-whitespace and that is nested within the block you want to find the start of.

With the currently included key bindings it's unfortunately easy to accidentally screw up the key combo and accidentally invoke the built-in key binding to shift the current line up / down, so be careful.

TO DO:

• Figure out better key bindings?

• Handle starting on a line containing only whitespace?
