This is a mirror of http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4841 DESCRIPTION The f / F commands allow you to quickly go to next / previous occurrences of a character in the same line (with plugins also across lines), but are limited to horizontal movement. But vertical movement, restricted to the same screen column the cursor is in, across lines would often be helpful, too. This plugin provides a ]V{char} mapping that works just like f, but vertically. The ]v mapping is similar, but uses the character under the cursor instead of querying for it (which is a more common use case when moving vertically). The ]| mapping is helpful for jumping out of indented blocks, or to filled-out columns, as it moves to the next non-whitespace in the current column. In long sorted lists, one often wants to go to the first / last instance of the current character (e.g. to move from "[A]ddress" to "Aardvark" or the last "Azure" before the entries with "B" begin). The ]! mapping does that. SOURCE The ]| mapping was inspired by http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20882722/move-to-the-next-row-which-has-non-white-space-character-in-the-same-column-in-v SEE ALSO - The JumpToLastOccurrence.vim plugin (vimscript #3386) still moves horizontally in the same line, but counts the characters in reverse, starting from the last one. - Check out the CountJump.vim plugin page (vimscript #3130) for a full list of motions and text objects powered by it. USAGE ]v To [count]'th occurrence of the character under the cursor in the same screen column of following lines. [v To [count]'th occurrence of the character under the cursor in the same screen column of previous lines. ]V{char} To [count]'th occurrence of {char} in the same screen column of following lines. Like f, but vertically. [V{char} To [count]'th occurrence of {char} in the same screen column of previous lines. Like F, but vertically. You can quickly repeat the same motion via the ]v / [v mappings (like ; / , for f). ]| To [count]'th next line that has non-whitespace in the same column as the current one. [| To [count]'th previous line that has non-whitespace in the same column as the current one. ]! To the last continuous occurrence of the character under the cursor in the same screen column. With any [count], skips over whitespace and shorter lines. [! To the first continuous occurrence of the character under the cursor in the same screen column. With any [count], skips over whitespace and shorter lines. Mnemonic: The ! looks like a column, with the dot marking the jump target.
