Vim Stream Editing

Edit text without moving your cursor!

• Pathogen
  • git clone git://github.com/lsp59862/vim-stream-editing.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-stream-editing
• Vundle
  • Plugin 'lsp59862/vim-stream-editing'
• Vim-Plug
  • Plug 'lsp59862/vim-stream-editing'

Usage

Hit (Alt+f) to use the plug in normal/insert mode if you enabled. Then:

1. Enter text(pattern) to modify.
2. Hit [n/b] to choose the text.
3. Hit [i/r/a] to insert/replace/append.
4. Enter a new text.

You can exit the process by [Esc] whenever you want.

Options

• g:vim_stream_editing_enable

  Default: 0
  

  Enable this plug when set it to 1.

Attention

g:vim_stream_editing_enable maps as the shortcut key to activate the process:

nnoremap <silent> <A-f> :call VimStreamEditingEditText('n')<CR>
inoremap <silent> <A-f> <Esc>:call VimStreamEditing#EditText('i')<CR>     

If you don't want to use this key, please map the function directly and set g:vim_stream_editing_enable to 0 :

nnoremap <silent> <Key> :call VimStreamEditingEditText('n')<CR>
inoremap <silent> <Key> <Esc>:call VimStreamEditingEditText('i')<CR>
let g:vim_stream_editing_enable = 0
