sjava/inline_edit.vim

Problem

Editing javascript within HTML is annoying. To generalize, editing code that's embedded in some different code is annoying.

Solution

Given the following example:

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#foo').click(function() {
      alert('OK');
    });
  })
</script>

Execute :InlineEdit within the script tag. A proxy buffer is opened with only the javascript. Saving the proxy buffer updates the original one. You can reindent, lint, slice and dice as much as you like.

Check the docs for more information, see the examples directory for some example files to try it on.

If you like the plugin, consider rating it on vim.org.

def some_heavy_query
  execute <<-SQL
    SELECT * FROM users WHERE something = 'other';

end

Python multiline strings (tries to guess SQL syntax) (Thanks to @thalesmello)

sql_query = """
    SELECT name
    FROM "Students"
    WHERE age > 10
"""
