This plugin allows rapid toggling between the two different styles of ruby blocks, namely do/end and brackets {}. To use, simply move the cursor to the beginning or end of a block, and type b. As a mnemonic, remember 'b' for 'block'.

Note: This plugin works best if you have your cursor on a do, end, {, or }. An attempt is made for it to work if you are inside a block as well, in which case the most immediate parent will be toggled.

When moving from a do/end to a bracket-style block, the plugin will attempt to move to a one-liner if appropriate.

For example, if you have the following ruby code (* indicates cursor position):

['one', 'two'].each d*o |number|
  puts number + "!"
end

After invoking b, the resulting code would be:

['one', 'two'].each *{ |number| puts number + "!" }

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/dwaller/vim-blockle.git

Once help tags have been generated, you can view the manual with :help blockle.

This plugin is only available if 'compatible' is not set, and will only work correctly if matchit.vim is available.
