Description
Many people have mentioned wanting support for changing / yanking /
deleting between "" and '', meaning the commands
ci' ci" yi' yi" di' di"
,so this adds that support in a generic, and thus potentially confusing way.
The concept is that we check for the character backwards and forwards
before making the selection. Unfortunately, this will also work for any
character that isn't
w
orW
, socia
could change everything betweentwo
a
characters.Looking through the bind documentation
and input handler at
src/input.cpp
,this is the best possible solution I could come up with until
forward-jump
andbackward-jump
can accept input in the call tobind
,and not just from stdin, meaning we can write a binding as:
If that were done, then other commands such as
di)
to go between()
wouldbe possible.
There are also some added
y
bindings not part of #6648.Let me know if you need anything else.
