Implement W, B, and V key sequences. #30

Open ghost opened 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

First, let me express my appreciation for you making this module, it's awesome! Second I'm very new to textadept, I just installed it today and still playing around it. I'm trying to set it up to the way I like it.

So I would like to have the normal command key sequences I mentioned in the title implemented because I use them a lot in Vim to traverse words with W and B a lot faster and I need V to select whole lines.

If you can implement this, it would make my life a whole lot easier :smile_cat:

Closing, due to lost interest.

Hi, Sorry for the slow reply (holidays)! Despite the lost interest, I'm reopening as it's still a legitimate bug/feature request (depending on your point of view), and I aim to implement them at some point. I don't think any of them are going to be too much work given that w, b, and v are already there.

Just to add on to this request is the ability to change things with multiple lines. For example I will comment out a function, I will set a mark go to the end of the block and then do :.c’as/^/—/. Or use the selection in V (line mode or Ctrl-V) and then shift-i. I’m don’t know if you can make the kind of changes to the ‘:’ mode, but there is a lot of substitution regex stuff that can be accomplished.

Hi @Nanoc-ice ,

Pretty much anything can be implemented, it's just a matter of effort and time. :-) I've prioritised the commands I use a lot, but I'm also interested in learning more! It's easier for me (which means most likely to happen) if each feature request is in its own issue, though!

Thanks,

jugglerchris

Yes, my bad. I will open up another issue. But in line with this issue, I would put a +1 for, at least, V.
