INTRODUCTION *exchange*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This plugin provides |operators| for exchanging text in two places. The main
|
|
|
|
|
operator is |cx|, which is used in pairs. Each time it is used, it defines
|
|
|
|
|
a region of text to to be exchanged; on the second use, the two defined regions
|
|
|
|
|
are exchanged.

First, place your cursor somewhere inside the quoted string and type `cxi"`.
|
|
|
|
|
Then move your cursor to somewhere inside the parentheses and type `cxi)`. The
|
|
|
|

To change the default mappings, simply provide your own mappings to the
|
|
|
|
|
commands below. The default mappings are as follows:
|
2013-12-10 12:06:09 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nmap cx <Plug>Exchange
|
|
|
|
|
vmap cx <Plug>Exchange
|
|
|
|
|
nmap cxc <Plug>ExchangeClear
|
|
|
|
|
nmap cxx <Plug>ExchangeLine
|
2013-12-10 11:43:08 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2013-12-21 23:00:46 -05:00
|
|
|
For example, to change the mapping for exchanging a line, use the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nmap cX <Plug>ExchangeLine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will use the mapping `cX`, and the default `cxx` will not be mapped.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*g:exchange_no_mappings*
|
|
|
|
|
g:exchange_no_mappings ~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this variable is defined, the default mappings will not be created.
