[RFC] Add mappings for first and last text objects in current line?

[wellle]

Inspired by #80.

It could be useful to have mappings like

• ciF" to change inside the first quotes in the current line
• ciL" to change inside the last quotes in the current line

This should not be confused with the current word last meaning previous.

I think the current L and N mappings are not really useful, so I think we could use F and L for this.

Any comments?

Also a count could be used to select the second c2iF" or penultimate c2iL" text object in the current line.

A slight tangent, but I think I would prefer l and n to always select the next proper quote, similar to the functionality of L and N. I almost never want the pseudo-quote. Ideally I could then do:

cin'[some changes]
cin'[some changes]
cin'[some changes]

... to change every quoted string on a line.

This would better free up L and N so that you can implement the F and L functionality described above, without removing the utility of L and N.

I do think that the F and L mappings would be useful, but I don't anticipate using them very much. It's one of those things where if I have it available, it might creep into my Vim workflow, but it might take a while. It's not much harder to type $cil' instead of ciL'. It's also less to memorize.

Solid points. Thinking about it I can't remember using any quote text objects to operate on pseudo quotes. I will consider your suggestion. 👍
