hekinami/ciel.el

An emacs command that is clone of "ci" in vim.

Introduction

An emacs command that is clone of "ci" in vim.
You can use ci", ci(, ciw and so on with Ctrl-c, i.
Also you can copy them with Ctrl-c, o instead of Ctrl-c, i.
This is standalone package and you can probably use in any mode.

I decided to remove cit on master branch, because it's too huge.
I'm not going to add cit againg for now.
Other command is still available and I think it's almost complete.

Comapision with others

• Similar to the behavior of vim.
• Possible to kill the nested parentheses if cursor is inside.
• No dependencies.
• Works in any mode.
• Support copying to register.

Installation

Download ciel.el somewhere.
For example:

cd ~/.emacs.d/elisp/
git clone https://github.com/cs14095/ciel.el

or download from melpa.

M-x package-install ciel

Then add the following in your .emacs file:

(setq load-path (cons "~/.emacs.d/elisp/ciel.el" load-path))
(require 'ciel)
(global-set-key "\C-ci" 'ciel-ci)
(global-set-key "\C-co" 'ciel-co)
(global-set-key "\C-crs" 'ciel-copy-to-register)

or you installed by melpa, then just add

(global-set-key "\C-ci" 'ciel-ci)
(global-set-key "\C-co" 'ciel-co)
(global-set-key "\C-crs" 'ciel-copy-to-register)

additionaly you want to bind spacific command, then add

(global-set-key "favorite key" 'ciel-kill-a-word)
(global-set-key "favorite key" 'ciel-copy-a-word)
(global-set-key "favorite key" '(lambda ()
									(interactive)

(global-set-key "favorite key" '(lambda ()

									(ciel-kill-region-paren "favorite parentheses")
