Iedit.nvim

A lua rewrite of emacs's iedit.

Edit one occurrence of text and simultaneously have other selected occurrences edited in the same way.

Usage

1. You start iedit with iedit.toggle().
2. The text which will be used is word-under-cursor in normal mode, and visually selected in visual mode.
3. You do some editing on the text, other instances of text will be changed.
4. You stop iedit-mode with iedit.toggle().

Functions

• iedit.toggle(match) - toggle iedit-mode; when enabling: text will be word-under-cursor in normal mode and visually selected in visual mode.

• iedit.toggle_current_occurrence() - toggle current occurrence to be included/decluded if cursor on occurrence

• iedit.goto_next_occurrence(wrap) - goto next (active) occurrence

• iedit.goto_prev_occurrence(wrap) - goto previous (active) occurrence

• iedit.goto_first_occurrence() - goto first (active) occurrence

• iedit.goto_last_occurrence() - goto last (active) occurrence

Restrict

Restrictions are line-wise. Node can fall outside of this restriction when they are manually toggled. When changing restriction range, matching is redone (which means that manually toggled nodes get reset).

• iedit.restrict_current_line() - restrict to current line
• iedit.restrict_visual() - restrict to visually selected range
• iedit.restrict_range(start_row, end_row) - restrict to range
• iedit.expand_up() - expand restriction up
• iedit.expand_down() - expand restriction down
• iedit.unexpand_up() - unexpand restriction up
• iedit.unexpand_down() - unexpand restriction down
• iedit.expand_next_occurrence() - expand restriction to next occurrence after restriction end
• iedit.expand_prev_occurrence() - expand restriction to prev occurrence before restriction start
• iedit.unexpand_next_occurrence() - unexpand restriction to next occurrence after restriction start
• iedit.unexpand_prev_occurrence() - unexpand restriction to prev occurrence before restriction end

Setup & Config

Using iedit.setup() is not required, it just changes the config. The default config is:

{
  highlight = 'IncSearch',
  end_right_gravity = true,
  right_gravity = false,
}

Limitations relative to emacs's iedit

Arbitrary same-width pattern is not possible, as there is no (easy) way to get how the extmarked content get's changed, only what the change is. This disables case-toggle and use-(i)search.
