With Wildfire you can quickly select the closest text object among a group of candidates. By default candidates are i', i", i), i], i}, ip and it.

Learn more about text objects with :help text-objects.

Usage

Press <ENTER> in normal mode to select the closest text object. Keep pressing <ENTER> for selecting the next closest text object. To go the other way round, that is, to select the previously selected text object, press <BS>.

To speed things up, if you want to select the nth closest text object you can press a number followed by <ENTER> (e.g. pressing 2<ENTER> will select the second closest text object).

To change default mappings use the following options:

" This selects the next closest text object.
let g:wildfire_fuel_map = "<ENTER>"

" This selects the previous closest text object.
let g:wildfire_water_map = "<BS>"

By default, Wildfire selects any of the text objects i', i", i), i], i}, ip and it. You can decide the ones to consider with the following option:

let g:wildfire_objects = ["i'", 'i"', "i)", "i]", "i}", "ip", "it"]

Advanced setup

Sometimes considering certain kinds of text objects can be quite annoying. This is the case of Html, where, for example, you may want to select just tag objects.

Wildfire allows you to be selective about which text objects are considered with different filetypes:

" use '*' to mean 'all other filetypes'
" in this example, html and xml share the same text objects
let g:wildfire_objects = {
    \ "*" : ["i'", 'i"', "i)", "i]", "i}", "ip"],
    \ "html,xml" : ["at"],
\ }
