change-inside-surroundings.vim's Issues

Support vi and va type of commands

Love the plugin, would it be possible to support vi and va type of commands ?

Handle single apostrophy

In the following: "Brian's vim plugin is broken."

If the cursor is in front of the single apostrophe, the plugin commands will work. If the cursor is placed after the single apostrophe the commands will have no effect beyond leaving you in insert mode.

Allow clearing only to the left/right

Sometimes it would be nice to be able to change only everything on the left or right site of the cursor instead of everything in the surrounding.

single undo of `<Leader>ci`

It would be great if typing <Leader>ci, then some replacement text, then <Esc>, then u would restore the state back to the way things were before the change command. Right now you need to undo twice, once for the actions of the s:ChangeSurrounding function and once for the text added as part of the startinsert that begins at the end of that function.

I tried to hack the script up to use undojoin, especially undojoin | startinsert, but it didn't work. I'm not sure if I'm lacking the vim-fu or if this is a fundamental (and stupid) limitation of vim's undojoin behavior.

New Atom plugin to replicate this functionality

I just created the basic shell of an Atom plugin that will replicate this functionality in the Atom text editor. Join in if you want to help out!

Change inside angle brackets

Right now, changing inside xml-style tags works well ("|" marks cursor):

<div> some | text </div>

However, changing inside the tags themselves does not do anything:

<div | class="blah">

It would be awesome if both could be supported.

Integrate with 'next textobject'

Great plugin! It would be even better if we could integrate it with this bit of code by Steve Losh which lets you do something like "cinb" to change inside next bracket. So you don't have to be standing inside the bracket. I might take a crack at this next weekend unless you like this idea and get to it first :)
