vim-line-motion

Vim-line-motion allows the user to perform line-wise operations to move, delete, yank and paste lines. The idea originated from Chris Toomey's talk on writing Vim plugins and grew from there.

Installation

Install with your package manager of choice, or using Vim 8's native plugin support:

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start
cd ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start
git clone https://github.com/aymenhafeez/vim-line-motion

Generating help files

If installed with Vim 8's native package management, add the following to your vimrc to generate help files for local plugins:

" Load all packages in the 'start' directory under each entry in 'packpath'.
" See :packloadall for more info.
packloadall

" Generate the help tags file(s) for directory {dir}.
" When {dir} is ALL then all 'doc' directories in
" 'runtimepath' will be used.
" See :h helptags for more info.
silent! helptags ALL
