move
It's annoying to delete and paste parts of a text just to move it up/down or
left/right a bit.
There is the :m[ove] command but it is quite awkward to use by todays
standards. vim-move is a Vim plugin that moves lines and selections in a more
visual manner. Out of the box, the following keys are mapped in visual and
normal mode:
<A-k> Move current line/selection up
<A-j> Move current line/selection down
<A-h> Move current character/selection left
<A-l> Move current character/selection right
The mappings can be prefixed with a count, e.g. 5<A-k> will move the selection
up by 5 lines.
See this short demo for a first impression:
Installation
vim-move is compatible with all major plugin managers. To install it using
Vundle, add
Bundle 'matze/vim-move'
to your .vimrc.
Customization
Use g:move_key_modifier to set a custom modifier for key bindings. For
example,
let g:move_key_modifier = 'C'
which will create the following key bindings:
<C-k> Move current line/selections up
<C-j> Move current line/selections down
And so on...
