Hi, Thanks for this awesome plugin

I am facing one wierd issue, regarding vai and vaI
Below is an excerpt of Vagrant file.

    end
    
    # starting provisionig only after all nodes are up
    if i == node_count
        config.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible|
            ansible.playbook = "prereq.yaml"
            ansible.limit = "all"
            ansible.verbose = "v"
            ansible.groups = {
                "dp-yarn-master" => ["master"],
                "dp-yarn-slave" => ["node-[1:#{node_count}]"],
                "[dp-yarn:children]" => ["dp-yarn-master", "dp-yarn-slave"]
                }
            }
        end
    end

if I do vai from line number 15, isn't it supposed to select line number 16 also?
But vaI is working as expected.

I'm not sure if this plugin is still maintained.

When typing yai, the cursor moves to the beginning of the selection.

When typing vai, the cursor moves to the end of the selection.

There's some logic for moving when vai is used because you could continue selecting downwards. However, what is the rationale for moving the cursor when yai is typed? One possible justification is that if you're in a method and yank it, moving to the top would let you paste the recently yanked text ie to duplicate the method.

It would be nice to have the choice of moving the cursor or not.

First of all -- this plugin is great! Thanks!

Now for the issue.
I am not sure but it looks like trailing empty lines should not be selected with vii.

For example if I want to change init method I would press dii and trailing line is not deleted. But if I do the same with viid then it would be deleted.

def __init__(self, parent):
    parent.title('tkBelveder: work edition. Ver {}'.format(cfg.VERSION))

    menu = tk.Menu(parent)
    gamemenu = tk.Menu(menu)
    menu.add_cascade(label="Game", menu=gamemenu)
    gamemenu.add_command(label="Reset", command=self.reset)

    parent['menu'] = menu

def quit(self, event):
    event.widget.quit()

PS
If you think it should be selected then make linewise selection --> after vii if you press k the previous line is not fully selected.

Nvim: 0.4.3

I am getting the below error when I do something like dai or cai inside any function or class.

Error detected while processing function <SNR>45_HandleTextObjectMapping[1]..<SNR>45_TextObject:
line  180:
E447: Can't find file "class" in path

Error detected while processing function <SNR>45_HandleTextObjectMapping[1]..<SNR>45_TextObject:
line  180:
E447: Can't find file "def" in path

For example if my cursor is on line 203, is there a command that would move my cursor (not selecting) to line 214?

So if I have a text:

a
a
  b
  b
    c
    c
  b
  b

If my cursor is on "c" and I type vai, then it selects the two lines with "c". If I press ai again, then the selection should expand to contain lines with "b" as well. If I press ai again, then lines with "a" should be selected as well. This is how the vim-ruby-object plugin works; the text object successively applies to a large portion of the text. You can use ii to successively select smaller portions.

Thank you very much for this project. It makes working with source code much easier. 🙂
Often, I find myself positioning the text cursor on the top line of an indent region (the line before the next indent level starts). So, I have to go down one line before I can use ii, ai and so on. So I created a simple patch to add block mappings (ab, ib, aB, iB) which increment the line number by one and then call your mappings. That works quite well, but it is an ugly hack. That is my current patch:

What do you think? Is this a feature that would be useful to others? Does a simple way exist to integrate this in your existing code?

I can not exted inner selection (Vii) with next iis.

I use indent-object for sort a block of indent files (css, python) with this map

   nmap <Leader>ss vii!sort<cr>

example, in a css file

  width:100px;
  height:100px;

<leader>ss

  height:100px;
  width:100px;

but how I can sort a complete file ? example:

 footer {
        width:100px;
        height:100px;
 }
 body {
        color: #000;
 }

to

 body {
        color: #000;
 }
 footer {
        height:100px;
        width:100px;
 }

it doesn't work well with repeat, when you move to another indented text, it doesn't re-calculate. is it expected behavior?

hi Michael:

I've beening using vim-indent-object as an extra text-object to handle my indented text blocks
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3037

it's extremely useful in a daily base, because most of my text files are indentation-based.

however, there is one common scenario that is not (and seems should be ) covered by it:

.task 5
do this
and do that

.task 6

this is more urgent

 do this
 and do that

I know this is not a programming scenario , but I remember even in some script there is such a need to action on this kind of blocks.
currently both of the above are not covered under the text object.

and currently il is just linked to ii:

"
iI (I)nner (I)ndentation level (no lines above/below).
Note that the iI mapping is mostly included simply for completeness, it is
effectively a synonym for ii.
"

so I think it's good to make il mapping to the blocks that I mentioned above?

thanks!

regards
ping

HI,

Thanks for this awesome plugin!

aI with capital I does not work, any ideas?

Thanks

In the following snippet I am on the second empty line. I do press vii and selection is propagated from the next line till the previous empty one. Could we just have all the stuff selected? I mean if the nextnonblank and prevnonblank lines have the same indent then just use it to select the block?

def __init__(self, parent):
    parent.title('tkBelveder: work edition. Ver {}'.format(cfg.VERSION))

    menu = tk.Menu(parent)
    gamemenu = tk.Menu(menu)
    menu.add_cascade(label="Game", menu=gamemenu)
    gamemenu.add_command(label="Reset", command=self.reset)

    parent['menu'] = menu

    self.canv = tk.Canvas(parent, width=cfg.WIDTH, height=cfg.HEIGHT,
                          background='#f0f0f0')
    self.canv.pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)

    parent.bind('<Escape>', self.quit)

    self.draw_board()

I'm probably missing something, but v2ii, for example, does not selects 2 indentation levels for me.

Given this example with cursor at cccc:

aaaa
    bbbb
        cc[|]cc

...pressing vii + ii does select both cccc and bbbb lines. However, pressing v2ii selects only cccc line.

Where am I wrong? :)

ii represents the inner object of the current indent level, and it also selects the line above the cursor (if their levels are the same). Is there a way to just select the lines below the cursor?

Place cursor on self.draw_cell(i,j) and press vii -- the line is not selected. If you press dii then current symbol is deleted.

def draw_board(self):
    for i in range(cfg.COL_COUNT):
        for j in range(cfg.ROW_COUNT):
            self.draw_cell(i, j)

i would prefer to interchange what vaI and vai.
for example in julia which has end statements and the standard acceptable formatting is

function something (...)
   code
   more code
   even more code
end

vai is quicker than vaI
i would like to use the quicker vai to select the end along with the indented block

Great plugin, I love it because it is much more lightweight that textobj-user stuffs.

Some people prefer to use viw, vip, vii before any action (delete / change) then they take some actions when they confirm the selection is what they want.

It is safer to select a text-object before taking any action, especially for big text objects containing many characters. So, I always use vii with this plugin.

But I noticed that after select text with vii the cursor stopped on the first line of the selection not the last line, for example:

          this is line 1
<cursor>  this is line 2
          this is line 3

The cursor is on line 2, when I type vii the three lines are selected, and the cursor should located on the last line, but it rewind to the first line. It is different from other text object selecting behavior.

When I use viw to select a word, the cursor stops on the last character of the selection, while vip will move the cursor to the last line of the selection.

I suppose vim-indent-object's selection behavior should correspond to other existing text-object's. Stopping cursor on the last line or last character of the selection is important because when I am editing I usually continue moving cursor down, if I made a wrong selection and cancel it by ESC, the cursor is usually close to the origin position before selection.

Is it possible to make an update for this ? If so I don't need press an o command after vii.

Hi, I love and use this plug-in every day. It makes working with code in Vim so much better! My workplace is cautious about allowing code without a LICENSE file and it'd be a big help if this plug-in could use a FOSS license. I'm sure others in the same position and would appreciate it too. Could a FOSS license please be added if this plug-in is meant for public use?
