Reselect Two

Description

This plugin allows you to restore, not only the last selection area (like does the 'gv' command) but also the previous one: the penultimate selection area (with 'gV'). See :h reselect-Visual, :h reselect-two.

Examples

Selection Area	Reselection
"HELLo world!"	gv -> HELL, gV -> HELL
"hello WORLD!"	gv -> WORLD, gV -> HELL
"HELLO world!"	gv -> HELLO, gV -> WORLD

Here we create two selections and alternate from one to the other using gv and gV.

Get Started

• Install with vim-plug or any other plugin manager.

  Plug 'clemedon/vim-reselect-two'

• Read the man: :h reselect-two

Dev Notes

Issue

• 240116 Cursor position should be restored when the selection is restored.

Alternative Solution

• 240116 When selection area start, save all keys pressed until the end of the selection ModeChanged, alongside with visualmode() and beg position. Replay them like a macro when the selection is restored.
