description

DESCRIPTION Replacing existing lines with the contents of a register is a very common task during editing. Often, one wants to adapt the indent of the pasted lines to the current indent, e.g. when replacing a nested conditional from a yank that originated at a different nesting level. This plugin combines the replacement functionality of the ReplaceWithRegister.vim plugin with the indent-adjustment done by the built-in ]p command. With a simple mapping, you can replace line(s) with the contents of a register while adjusting the indent to that of the first replaced line. SEE ALSO - ReplaceWithRegister.vim (vimscript #2703) implements the general case of   replacing text including the indent (also with a {motion} mapping for   arbitrary text, not just lines). USAGE [count]["x]grR          Replace [count] lines with the contents of register x                         and adjust the indent to the first replaced line (like                         pasting with ]p). {Visual}["x]gR          Replace the selection with the contents of register x                         and adjust the indent to the first selected line.                         As the replacement is always entire lines, this only                         works with linewise selections (V).

install details

INSTALLATION The code is hosted in a Git repo at     https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-ReplaceWithSameIndentRegister You can use your favorite plugin manager, or "git clone" into a directory used for Vim packages. Releases are on the "stable" branch, the latest unstable development snapshot on "master". This script is also packaged as a vimball. If you have the "gunzip" decompressor in your PATH, simply edit the *.vmb.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 ReplaceWithSameIndentRegister*.vmb.gz     :so % To uninstall, use the :RmVimball command. DEPENDENCIES - Requires Vim 7.0 or higher. - Requires the ingo-library.vim plugin (vimscript #4433), version 1.000 or   higher. - repeat.vim (vimscript #2136) plugin (optional)   To support repetition with a register other than the default register, you   need version 1.1 or later. - visualrepeat.vim (vimscript #3848) plugin (version 2.00 or higher; optional) CONFIGURATION If you want to use different mappings, map your keys to the <Plug>ReplaceWithSameIndentRegister... mapping targets _before_ sourcing the script (e.g. in your vimrc):     nmap <Leader>R  <Plug>ReplaceWithSameIndentRegisterLine     xmap <Leader>R  <Plug>ReplaceWithSameIndentRegisterVisual

ReplaceWithSameIndentRegister-1.01.vmb.gz	1.01	2019-11-19	7.0	Ingo Karkat	- BUG: {count}grR does not repeat the count. - BUG: Starting with v_gR, repeating in normal mode with {count}., repeating again uses the original number of selected lines, not the overridden {count}. - Suppress "--No lines in buffer--" message when replacing the entire buffer, and combine "Deleted N lines" / "Added M lines" into a single message that is given when either previous or new amount of lines reaches 'report'.
