movar
Inspired by the Vim London meetup, Rob Miller wrote movar (GitHub: robmiller / vim-movar) which adds some motions for moving around variables in PHP and Ruby. He’s used the onoremap
command with a function that builds up a string that searches using searchpos
.
Typing av
will select around a variable, while iv
selects inner variables (thereby ignoring the variable's prefix, like $
). These motions work with operators as well, so you can delete, change, or yank.
vim-fat-finger
vim-fat-finger (GitHub: chip / vim-fat-finger, Vim.org: fat-finger) by Chip Castle supports over 4,000 commonly typed misspellings, which are corrected using the iabbrev
command. It doesn't have any settings, but the author has mentioned a toggle feature in the project's TODO file.
I’m not sure where the misspellings come from, but I thought the iabbrev spelling correction idea was interesting.
