Operator to Surround a Text Object

This plugin provides Vim operator mappings to deal with surrounds like (), "" and so on. In addition, both end of the text object are the same character, vim-operator-surround recognizes them as a surround (this behavior is customizable with some variables).

It can

• surround a text object with a specified block.
• replace a surround in a text object with a specified block.
• delete a surround in a text object.

This plugin would be more useful with vim-textobj-between or vim-textobj-anyblock. And you can customize and add surround definitions in global and filetype specific scope.

Policy of This Plugin (or The Reason Why I Don't Use vim-surround)

• Simplicity : All should be done with operator mappings.
• Extensibility : The behavior should be highly customizable with g:operator#surround#blocks and text objects like vim-textobj-multiblock, vim-textobj-between or vim-textobj-anyblock.
• Well-tested

Requirements

This plugin uses vim-operator-user. Please install it in advance.

Customize

Set your favorite blocks to g:operator#surround#blocks. And control the behavior with some variables. Please read doc for more details.
