coderifous / textobj-word-column.vim Goto Github PK

Great plugin! I love the idea, but unfortunately it doesn't work with tabs. Looks like it's because when using | to jump to a column, it uses screen columns (instead of actual columns -- see :help bar). Maybe you could multiply the number of tab characters by the value of tabstop?

Repro:
Edit word-column.vim
Put cursor on first 'let' in file.
vic selects all of the lets.
%sm/^ /\t to switch to tabs.
Put cursor on first 'let' in file.
vic selects some weird stuff (on ca711dd it selects a bunch of stuff late in the file and on 69c30da it selects from the beginning of the line).

I wonder whether it would be possible to sum a column, putting the result in the unnamed register "".

Right now I can't think of a way because : will seemingly always operate on new lines, but perhaps someone has a better idea?

Here's a Github article. You can automate it with this third-party site or here's the MIT template that you can paste into LICENSE.txt.

s:find_boundary_row is recursive and can cause E132: Function call depth is higher than 'maxfuncdepth' on selections using more than &maxfuncdepth lines. (maxfuncdepth defaults to 100) Looks like function could be done iteratively instead.

Also, not really relevant to this issue, but have you seen textobj-user? Might be useful to take care of some boilerplate stuff?

On this text:

    id:                 String,
    node:               String,
    lastTried:          sql.Timestamp,
    lastTriedUri:       String,
    lastTriedSeeding:   sql.Timestamp,
    lastTriedDepth:     Int,
    lastFetched:        Option[sql.Timestamp],
    lastFetchedStatus:  Option[Int],
    lastParsed:         Option[sql.Timestamp],
    lastParsedOutLinks: Option[Int]

I do viC from here:

and get this selection:

whereas I was expecting a selection more like this:

(Using ea8ff3d.)

Given this text:

let ctrlp_extensions = ['funky', 'register']
nmap <C-o>l :CtrlPLastMode<CR>
nmap <C-o>b :CtrlPBuffer<CR>
nmap <C-o>f :call ctrlp#init(ctrlp#funky#id())<CR>
nmap <C-o>r :CtrlPRegister<CR>

If I put my cursor on the first < and type vic, then part of the first line is selected. I would expect the column of < to be selected. Instead, the selected block includes ctrlp_extensions and all five lines. Since the word boundaries are in different columns, I think this is incorrect.

Hi,

Have you already considered using the vim-textobj-user plugin (see https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user)?
I think it would be interesting, for several reasons:

• ability to customize mappings (for me, ac and ic conflict with the mappings of https://github.com/thinca/vim-textobj-comment)
• better reuse of code (your plugin becomes smaller and loads faster, since it reuses existing code)
• use of the autoload feature in vim, for faster startup
• any improvement in textobj would also benefit your plugin automatically
• better visibility for your plugin, since it could be listed on https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user/wiki

(Using ea8ff3d.)

Given this text:

let g:ctrlp_extensions = ['funky', 'register']
nmap <C-o>l :CtrlPLastMode<CR>
nmap <C-o>b :CtrlPBuffer<CR>
nmap <C-o>f :call ctrlp#init(ctrlp#funky#id())<CR>
nmap <C-o>r :CtrlPRegister<CR>

If I put my cursor on the first < and type vic, then the : and the column of < beneath it are selected. But what I wanted was just the column of <.
I would expect viC to do what I want, but instead it selects g:ctrlp_extensions and all of the lines below it. I'm not certain if that's correct. Maybe that's related to #1.

Is there any way to do what I want? vaC does the same thing as viC in this case. vac selects g: and the lines below it. It seems like I want the selection priority to be on the word that my cursor is on.
