place.vim

place.vim allows you to add insertions to your text without moving your cursor. If you suffer from the following problems, this plugin might be for you:

• Forgotten to add a ';' at the end of a line.
• Forgotten var, let, $ or any other variant at the beginning of a line.
• Wanted to insert some text without having to enter insert mode, move to the place, leave insert mode, and go back

Mapping

Add a mapping of your choice to get place.vim working for you.

Example:

nmap ga <Plug>(place-insert)
nmap gb <Plug>(place-insert-multiple)

Examples

(Examples are using ga as the prefix key but it can be anything you want)

place.vim works in the 'vim' way. Here are a few examples of what it does

FAQ

I want to enter 'var' or 'let' like you said I could in the README!

Sure thing, there's a separate mapping <Plug>(place-insert-multiple) to map to. Read the docs.

Now, when you finish your motion, an input box will appear with what you want to insert.
