NeoVintageous 1.26.0

NeoVintageous 1.26.0 has been released. The highlights are new text objects and multiple cursor improvements.

New vim text objects

New text objects inspired by vim-targets:

i,
i.
i;
i:
i+
i-
i=
i~
i_
i*
i#
i/
i|
i\
i&
i$

and

a,
a.
a;
a:
a+
a-
a=
a~
a_
a*
a#
a/
a|
a\
a&
a$`

Examples

MarkDown: ci* to change an emphasized phrase when the cursor | is located as in this is *a t|est*;

LaTeX: ci$ to change an inline equation when the cursor | is located as in this is $a^{te|st}$;

Python: ci, to change a list element or function argument in the examples def f(a, |b=c, d) and [12, 3|4, 56].

Vim multiple cursor operations

Operations like paste are now more flexible in multiple cursor modes. Here are some examples (pipe character is the current cursor position).

test |copy text
fizz buzz
fizz buzz
fizz buzz

Yank text "copy ".

yaw

Move down one line and make a 3 multiple cursors.

j<C-n><C-n><C-n>

test copy text
fizz |buzz|
fizz |buzz|
fizz |buzz|

Now escape to normal mode, paste yanked text.

<Esc>P

And lastly, exit the multiple cursors.

<Esc><Esc>

test copy text
fizz copy| buzz
fizz copy buzz
fizz copy buzz

When a multiple cursor is started, enter normal mode by pressing <Esc> or J. From normal mode you can use vim commands normally. For example operations, motions, text-objects, etc. all work fine with a multiple selection.

The following will cut the word "buzz" insert the text "change " and then paste on the end the text that was cut.

j<C-n><C-n><C-n><Esc>ciwchange<Space>p<Esc>

test copy text
fizz change buzz
fizz change buzz
fizz change buzz

You do some very fancy time-saving operations on a multiple cursor.
