InnerBlock

A neovim/vim plugin for manipulating user configurable blocks of text. Allows users to configure delimeters for blocks for one command actions (selection/change/delete).

Purpose

• Quickly select/edit/delete text inside delimiters (blocks)
  • Properly handle nested delimeters
• Allow customization of blocks
  • Handle blocks with special regex characters

Installation

Vimscript (vim-plug)

" vim-plug
Plug 'simmsa/innerblock'

Lua (lazy.vim)

require("lazy").setup({
    'simmsa/innerblock'
})

Usage

In normal mode the following commands are available:

• Bracket blocks (() [], {})
  • cib: Change inside brackets
  • dib: Delete inside brackets
  • sib: Sort inside brackets
• HTML tag blocks (<>, ><)
  • cit: Change inside tag
  • dit: Delete inside tag
• String blocks ("", '', ``)
  • cis: Change inside string
  • dis: Delete inside string
• $\LaTeX$ blocks ($$)
  • cil: Change inside latex block
  • dil: Delete inside latex block

Examples

Brackets

Tags

Strings

$\LaTeX$

Default Settings

Vimscript

Block Setup

Define delimiters for blocks of text/code

" Inside Brackets
let g:inner_block_bracket_pairs = [
    \ ['(', ')'],
    \ ['{', '}'],
    \ ['[', ']'],
\]

let g:inner_block_html_tag_pairs = [
    \ ["<", ">"],
    \ ['<', '/>\|>'],
    \ ['>', '<'],
\]

let g:inner_block_string_pairs = [
    \ ["'", "'"],
    \ ['"', '"'],
    \ ['`', '`'],
\]

let g:inner_block_latex_pairs = [
    \ ['\$', '\$'],
\]

Depth Configuration

Define the size/depth of bracket searches

" Search this many lines above and below the current window
let g:inner_block_limit = 50
" Search this many levels of nesting
let g:inner_block_max_level = 16

Mappings

Map bracket pairs to InnerBlock functions

" Inside Brackets
nnoremap <silent> cib :call innerblock#DeleteInnerBlock(g:inner_block_bracket_pairs, "different", "c")<CR>
nnoremap <silent> dib :call innerblock#DeleteInnerBlock(g:inner_block_bracket_pairs, "different", "k")<CR>

" Inside Tags
