IndentWise is a Vim plugin that provides for motions based on indent depths
or levels in normal, visual, and operator-pending modes.
The following key-mappings provide motions to go to lines of lesser, equal, or greater indent than the line that the cursor is currently on:
[-: Move to previous line of lesser indent than the current line.[+: Move to previous line of greater indent than the current line.[=: Move to previous line of same indent as the current line that is separated from the current line by lines of different indents.]-: Move to next line of lesser indent than the current line.]+: Move to next line of greater indent than the current line.]=: Move to next line of same indent as the current line that is separated from the current line by lines of different indents.
The above all take a {count}, so that, e.g., 4[- will move to the
previous line that is 4 indent-depths less than the current one. An
"indent-depth" is simply the indentation of the line, and thus any line with a
smaller amount of indentation relative to current line is considered at a
lesser indent depth, and, conversely, any line with a greater indentation than
the current line is considered to be at a greater indent-depth.
In addition, you can navigate directly to a line of a particular
indent-level, with the level specified by a (mandatory)
{count} directive, using:
{count}[_: Move to previous line with indent-level of{count}.{count}]_: Move to next line with indent-level of{count}.
An "indent-level" of a line is the number of shiftwidth units that the
line is indented (as opposed to the "indent-depth", which is just the
indentation amount of a line).
The following key-mappings provide motions based on indent-block scope
boundaries, with an optional {count} directive specifying the number
of levels of scope to include:
[%: Move to beginning of indent-block scope (i.e., move to the line just after the previous line of lesser indent); repeat for{count}outer scopes.]%: Move to end of indent-block scope (i.e., move to the line just before the next line of lesser indent); repeat for{count}outer scopes.
If you are unhappy with the default key-mappings you can provide your own by
defining custom mappings in your .vimrc. For example to replicate the
default mappings, you would define the following:
map [- <Plug>(IndentWisePreviousLesserIndent)
map [= <Plug>(IndentWisePreviousEqualIndent)
map [+ <Plug>(IndentWisePreviousGreaterIndent)
map ]- <Plug>(IndentWiseNextLesserIndent)
map ]= <Plug>(IndentWiseNextEqualIndent)
map ]+ <Plug>(IndentWiseNextGreaterIndent)
map [_ <Plug>(IndentWisePreviousAbsoluteIndent)
map ]_ <Plug>(IndentWiseNextAbsoluteIndent)
map [% <Plug>(IndentWiseBlockScopeBoundaryBegin)
map ]% <Plug>(IndentWiseBlockScopeBoundaryEnd)
