# surround.vim
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Surround.vim is all about "surroundings": parentheses, brackets, quotes,
|
||
|
|
XML tags, and more. The plugin provides mappings to easily delete,
|
||
|
|
change and add such surroundings in pairs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's easiest to explain with examples. Press `cs"'` inside
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Hello world!"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
to change it to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
'Hello world!'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now press `cs'<q>` to change it to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<q>Hello world!</q>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To go full circle, press `cst"` to get
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Hello world!"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To remove the delimiters entirely, press `ds"`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hello world!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now with the cursor on "Hello", press `ysiw]` (`iw` is a text object).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Hello] world!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's make that braces and add some space (use `}` instead of `{` for no
|
||
|
|
space): `cs]{`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{ Hello } world!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now wrap the entire line in parentheses with `yssb` or `yss)`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
({ Hello } world!)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Revert to the original text: `ds{ds)`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hello world!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Emphasize hello: `ysiw<em>`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<em>Hello</em> world!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally, let's try out visual mode. Press a capital V (for linewise
|
||
|
|
visual mode) followed by `S<p class="important">`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="important">
|
||
|
|
<em>Hello</em> world!
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This plugin is very powerful for HTML and XML editing, a niche which
|
||
|
|
currently seems underfilled in Vim land. (As opposed to HTML/XML
|
||
|
|
*inserting*, for which many plugins are available). Adding, changing,
|
||
|
|
and removing pairs of tags simultaneously is a breeze.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `.` command will work with `ds`, `cs`, and `yss` if you install
|
||
|
|
[repeat.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-repeat).
