ambv.modalcommands

This is a set of additional commands that I use in conjunction with ModalEdit to enable faster workflows.

Features

modalcommands.vimPaste

When pasting content that consists of full lines, Vim provides special support that makes editing faster:

• P causes the lines to be fully inserted before the current cursor line;
• p causes the lines to be fully inserted after the current cursor line.

This happens even if the cursor is in the middle of the line. In both cases the cursor gets placed at the ^start of the first inserted line.

To configure this, add to "modaledit.keybindings":

"p": {
    "command": "modalcommands.vimPaste",
    "args": {
        "before": false
    }
},
"P": {
    "command": "modalcommands.vimPaste",
    "args": {
        "before": true
    }
},

Requirements

VS Code + johtela.ModalEdit. I mean, you can run the commands here straight from the palette but it won't be very fast.

Extension Settings

See the documentation or johtela.ModalEdit on how to add these commands to modaledit.keybindings.

Known Issues

I don't exactly know what I'm doing.
