how difficult do you suppose it would be to make it an operator? i.e., evil-iedit-state/iedit-mode
on a region or symbol, then, e.g., 3ap
to restrict to matches of the original region or symbol within the next three paragraphs?
@braham-snyder I've taken this idea and since written evil-multiedit. The default config lets you visually select a region and press RET to restrict matches to that region. I can look into adding an operator to do that, it wouldn't be difficult.
We have
'iedit-restrict-function
and'iedit-restrict-current-line
(even'iedit-expand-down-a-line
and'iedit-expand-up-a-line
), and iedit has'iedit-restrict-region
but it isn't interactive. It'd be nice to exploit evil's visual mode to restrict matches to a selected region.I have an implementation of this in my emacs.d that maps SPC (in visual mode) to the following lambda:
Unfortunately, while this does cut down on matches, it won't add new matches to an expanded restricted region (yet).EDIT: Now it does, updated the lambda.
I can extract it into, say, a
'evil-iedit-restrict-region
, for a PR if this interests you.
