exchange.vim

Easy text exchange operator for Vim.

Mappings

cx

On the first use, define the first {motion} to exchange. On the second use, define the second {motion} and perform the exchange.

cxx

Like cx, but use the current line.

X

Like cx, but for Visual mode.

cxc

Clear any {motion} pending for exchange.

Some notes

  • If you're using the same motion again (e.g. exchanging two words using cxiw), you can use . the second time.
  • If one region is fully contained within the other, it will replace the containing region.

Example

To exchange two words, place your cursor on the first word and type cxiw. Then move to the second word and type cxiw again. Note: the {motion} used in the first and second use of cx don't have to be the same.

Other text editors

Exchange.vim has been ported by third parties to work with Vim emulators in other text editors.

Troubleshooting

More details and troubleshooting can be found in the Wiki.

Installation

If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing pathogen.vim, and then simply copy and paste:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/tommcdo/vim-exchange.git

Once help tags have been generated, you can view the manual with :help exchange.
