Most programming languages use either CamelCase +("anIdentifier") or underscore_notation ("an_identifier") naming conventions +for identifiers. The best way to navigate inside those identifiers using Vim +built-in motions is the [count]f{char} motion, i.e. f{uppercase-char} or f\_, +respectively. But we can make this easier: + +This script defines motions ',w', ',b' and ',e' (similar to 'w', 'b', 'e'), +which do not move word-wise (forward/backward), but Camel-wise; i.e. to word +boundaries and uppercase letters. The motions also work on underscore notation, +where words are delimited by underscore ('_') characters. From here on, both +CamelCase and underscore_notation entities are referred to as "words" (in double +quotes). Just like with the regular motions, a [count] can be prepended to move +over multiple "words" at once. Outside of "words" (e.g. in non-keyword +characters like // or ;), the new motions move just like the regular motions. + +Vim provides a built-in 'iw' text object called 'inner word', which works in +operator-pending and visual mode. Analog to that, this script defines inner +"word" motions 'i,w', 'i,b' and 'i,e', which select the "word" (or multiple +"words" if a [count] is given) where the cursor is located. + +Usage +====== +Use the new motions',w',',b' and ',e' in normal mode, operator-pending mode (cp. +:help operator), and visual mode. For example, type 'bc,w' to change 'Camel' in +'CamelCase' to something else. + +**Motions Example** + +Given the following CamelCase identifiers in a source code fragment:: + + set Script31337PathAndNameWithoutExtension11=%~dpn0 + set Script31337PathANDNameWITHOUTExtension11=%~dpn0 + +and the corresponding identifiers in underscore_notation:: + + set script_31337_path_and_name_without_extension_11=%~dpn0 + set SCRIPT_31337_PATH_AND_NAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION_11=%~dpn0 + +,w moves to ([x] is cursor position): [s]et, [s]cript, [3]1337, [p]ath, +[a]nd, [n]ame, [w]ithout, [e]xtension, [1]1, [d]pn0, dpn[0], [s]et + +,b moves to: [d]pn0, [1]1, [e]xtension, [w]ithout, ... + +,e moves to: se[t], scrip[t], 3133[7], pat[h], an[d], nam[e], withou[t], +extensio[n], 1[1], dpn[0] + +**Inner Motions Example** +Given the following identifier, with the cursor positioned at [x]:: + + script_31337_path_and_na[m]e_without_extension_11 + +v3i,w selects script_31337_path_and_[name_without_extension\_]11 + +v3i,b selects script_31337_[path_and_name]_without_extension_11 + +v3i,e selects script_31337_path_and_[name_without_extension]_11 + +Instead of visual mode, you can also use c3i,w to change, d3i,w to delete, +gU3i,w to upper-case, and so on. + +**Source** + +Based on http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Moving_through_camel_case_words by Anthony Van Ham. + +Installation +============= +This script is packaged as a vimball. If you have the "gunzip" decompressor +in your PATH, simply edit the \*.vba.gz package in Vim; otherwise, decompress +the archive first, e.g. using WinZip. Inside Vim, install by sourcing the +vimball or via the ``:UseVimball`` command. + +:: + + vim camelcasemotion.vba.gz + :so % + +To uninstall, use the ``:RmVimball`` command. + +**Dependencies** + +Requires Vim 7.0 or higher. + +**Configuration** + +If you want to use different mappings, map your keys to the +``<Plug>CamelCaseMotion_?`` mapping targets _before_ sourcing this script (e.g. in +your .vimrc). + +**Example**: Replace the default 'w', 'b' and 'e' mappings instead of defining +additional mappings',w', ',b' and ',e':: + + map <silent> w <Plug>CamelCaseMotion_w + map <silent> b <Plug>CamelCaseMotion_b + map <silent> e <Plug>CamelCaseMotion_e + sunmap w + sunmap b + sunmap e + +**Example**: Replace default 'iw' text-object and define 'ib' and 'ie' +motions:: + + omap <silent> iw <Plug>CamelCaseMotion_iw + xmap <silent> iw <Plug>CamelCaseMotion_iw + omap <silent> ib <Plug>CamelCaseMotion_ib + xmap <silent> ib <Plug>CamelCaseMotion_ib + omap <silent> ie <Plug>CamelCaseMotion_ie + xmap <silent> ie <Plug>CamelCaseMotion_ie |
