vim-fim

"f" imitated; not improved.

What is this?

This is a kind of practice or an example of user-defined motion accepting user input. It aims at replicating Vim's default f command. Currently, this motion is implemented with the features below.

• Motion command in normal mode with [count]
• Motion command in visual mode with [count]
• Motion command in operator-pending mode with [count]
  • Characterwise (inclusive)
• Dot-repeat support (:help single-repeat)
  • Do not ask for a user input with . command, just use the last character input

Usage

Install the plugin and add the following line in your vimrc.

map <space>f <Plug>(fim)

Contents

There are several implementations included.

• Incomplete key mappings only for operator-pending mode

  • <Plug>(fim-trial01)
  • <Plug>(fim-trial02)
  • <Plug>(fim-trial03)
  • <Plug>(fim-trial04)
  • <Plug>(fim-trial05)

• Complete key mappings only for operator-pending mode

  • <Plug>(fim-trial06)
  • <Plug>(fim-trial07)

• Complete key mappings for normal, visual, and operator-pending mode

  • <Plug>(fim)

The third column and later are for operator-pending mode key mappings.

key	normal	visual	inclusive	cancel	cancel with .	remember the last inpur for .	note
fim-trial01				✓	✓
fim-trial02			✓
fim-trial03			✓	✓		✓
fim-trial04			✓	✓	✓		No outlook for linewise
fim-trial05			✓	✓	✓
fim-trial06			✓	✓	✓	✓
fim-trial07			✓	✓	✓	✓
fim	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓

The fim mapping is forked from fim-trial06.

Known issues

• Those key mappings do not abort macro execution (:help complex-repeat) even if the motion failed to move the cursor.
• Those key mappings may not work well with multibyte characters.
