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. `cxc` Clear any {motion} pending for exchange. ### Notes about the mappings * `X` can be used from visual mode, which is sometimes easier than coming 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.
