critiqjo/husk-x.vim

Mappings that boost vim's command line.

husk-x.vim

Mappings that boost vim command line mode with (basic) undo support.

Installation

• vim-plug
  Plug 'critiqjo/husk-x.vim'

• Vundle
  Plugin 'critiqjo/husk-x.vim'

Note: In order to enable alt mappings (M-f, M-b etc) Mac OS users using Terminal.app may need to go to Preferences > Profiles > Keyboard and tick "Use Option as Meta key".

Mappings

All mappings work only in Vim command line mode. Below, "undoable" marks those commands whose state before execution is pushed to the undo stack.

Mapping	Description	Undoable
<C-a>	wraps <Home>	no
<C-e>	wraps <End>	no
<M-h>	move cursor left	no
<M-l>	move cursor right	no
<M-w>	cursor w-jump	no
<M-b>	cursor b-jump	no
<M-e>	cursor e-jump	no
<M-W>	cursor W-jump	no
<M-B>	cursor B-jump	no
<M-E>	cursor E-jump	no
<M-k>	wraps <Up>	yes
<M-j>	wraps <Down>	yes
<C-k>*	clear line after cursor	yes
<C-u>	clear line backwards	yes
<M-d>	delete "word" after cursor	yes
<C-w>	delete "word" backwards	yes
<M-x>	wraps <Del>	no
<C-_>#	pops the undo stack	no

* For the default <C-k> behavior, open command-line window using <C-f>.

^# <C-/> and <C-_> seems identical to vim (see this SO answer).

Configuration

Global variable	Default	Description
g:husk#undo_stack_capacity	64	Undo stack max capacity
g:husk#undo_stack_cut_by	16	When undo stack exceeds its capacity, the oldest cut_by number of items is popped off

About

husk-x.vim was inspired by vim-husk plugin.

Differences from vim-husk:

• support for undoing
• prefers "meta + [wWbBeE]" for word jumps
• removed vim-rsi mappings and behaviour
