Gmotion.vim

provide a general motion for block text-objects with highlight!

Usage

After initial load, gmotion will automatically parse the current buffer, if it finds any block text-object (like ""、[]、''、()、<>, {}...) in current line, it will highlight the prefix and the suffix part of the text-object. By default, only "", [], '', (), <>, {} surrounded text-object are defined, you can define your own text-object, see[Custom](# Custom Configuration) for more details and limitations.

g As General Motion

If you familiar with vim's text-objects, than you must be used to using these ci(、di{、ci"、ya[ quick motions, however, sometimes you may find it takes a bit time to determine which key to press, not to mention ({<" are far from fingers. This is where gmotion help you out, instead of typing i(、i{、a[、a<, typing ig and ag will work the same. With highlighted prefix and surffix, you can easily tell which text-object is on operation.
