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

Clear any {motion} pending for exchange.

### Notes about the mappings
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-02-24 19:37:04 -05:00
|
|
|
* `X` can be used from visual mode, which is sometimes easier than coming
|
2013-12-10 22:11:40 -05:00
|
|
|
up with the right {motion}
|
|
|
|
|
* If you're using the same motion again (e.g. exchanging two words using
|
|
|
|
|
`cxiw`), you can use `.` the second time.

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.

Installation
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend
|
|
|
|
|
installing [pathogen.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen), 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`.
