Ingo Karkat 55421a1852 Support :set selection=exclusive
With this, the '> mark points to after the end of the selection.
- Do not change the 'selection' value when the plugin is triggered from visual mode, so that we can grab the original selection.
- Simplification: gv can be used instead of "`<" . a:type . "`>" to restore the original selection. This also deals with blockwise-to-end in all cases.
- For the highlighting, the end position must be corrected. Since these are byte indices, we cannot just decrement by 1, but have to subtract the length of the last selected character!

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.

X

Like cx, but for Visual mode.

cxc

Clear any {motion} pending for exchange.

Some notes

  • If you're using the same motion again (e.g. exchanging two words using cxiw), you can use . the second time.
  • If one region is fully contained within the other, it will replace the containing region.

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, 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.
