description

This is essentially TextMate's "Insert Matching Start Bracket" feature implemented in vim script. Makes it a lot more pleasant to write Objective-C. Just type ] in insert mode after an object or method you want to wrap in brackets and this will wrap it appropriately; to escape out of it once you're finished, simply type ] again. For instance, where | is the cursor: "foo|" becomes "[foo |]" after ] is pressed. "foo bar|" becomes "[foo bar]|" "foo: bar|" becomes "foo: [bar |]" "foo bar: baz|" becomes "[foo bar: baz]|" Certain useful keywords are also wrapped intelligently, for example: "return foo|" becomes "return [foo ]|" "@selector: foo|" becomes "[@selector: foo]|" Hope you like it!
