Feature Request: Indentation Block

[kevintraver]

Here's an idea for a new text-object that might be useful: Indentation Block (open to ideas on other names this could be called)

Essentially, its the same as the indentation text object, but restricted by newlines.

example

myFunction (abc)
  callMethod

  doSomething
  doSomethingElse
  doAnotherThing

  anotherMethod
end

if the cursor was on doSomethingElse, it would select the following

  doSomething
  doSomethingElse
  doAnotherThing

[chrisgrieser]

wouldn't that be the same as the paragraph textobject ip?

Not in this case:

myFunction (abc)
  callMethod
  doSomething  // cursor here
  doSomethingElse

  doAnotherThing
  anotherMethod
end

Where the wish would be to select:

  callMethod
  doSomething
  doSomethingElse

It has a vimscript implementation already in https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-indent , under ii omap. (ai omap of this plugin is the whole content of the function, everything with same indentation as current line)

[chrisgrieser]

I see, so a combination of indentation and paragraph textobject, essentially.

Could you file FR-issue? Then I'll see to it when I got a bit more time at hand.

[kevintraver]

Yes, that's correct. It would be a different object than paragraph.

As shown above,, this would be a lot more useful than ip when editing lots of code.

[kevintraver]

I've created a draft PR #54 that would potentially work.
