Could you post what key strokes are you using to each example?

I haven't use sublime2 before, could you show me what key strokes are you using for each example?

For example 1, it's really simple:

  • jump to p with fp
  • select the word under cursor with C-n
  • do that two more times for the other two occurrences in the function
  • press c to change
  • type the replacement
  • press <Esc> to quit back to regular Vim

For example 2:

  • select the line with V
  • go to the end of the file with G
  • press C-n to add a cursor at the beginning of every line and move to normal mode
  • I to insert at the beginning of the line
  • type ", move to end of line with C-e, type another " and ,
  • move every cursor down 1 line with C-j(this is a custom mapping of mine in Insert mode)
  • hit <bs>, now all the words are on the same line
  • the rest is just normal Vim

For example 3:

  • dt" to delete everything until the first quote
  • L to go to end of line (my custom mapping)
  • r, to replace the ] with ,
  • go back to the beginning of the line with H (custom), f, finds the first comma
  • mash on C-n until the last occurrence
  • c followed by <CR> to break it into multiple lines
  • move every cursor up one line with C-k (again my custom mapping)
  • delete the left quote with C-g<BS> (custom mapping to move cursor in insert mode)
  • go to end of line and delete right quote with C-e<BS>

Everything looks really long when typed out, but it's pretty natural I'm sure to most Vimmers. Hope it helps!

I got :call <SNR>98_apply_user_input_next('i') when hit v to return to the normal model and hit I to try to input.

here's my .vimrc

Not sure what step you're on. Are you trying to replay the examples? None of them involves using v to go back to normal mode.

You should probably add this to the readme. If anything atleast a link to this issue. I was about to ask the same question.

Added a link to this on the README.

in example 2,
** type ", move to end of line with C-e, type another " and ,

after I input "I" and insert ", but C-e can't jump end of the lines, just input a character as same as below one. like this:

"TMon
"WTue
"Web

I didn't do custom mapping for C-e can you tell me how you jump the cursor to the end when you are in insert mode ? seems impossible .
