indented-block

Select a block by indentation in Vim

This plugin adds a new text object i, for a block defined by consistent indentation. The motion ii only selects the insides of the block, which ai also selects the line above it, since that's generally the delimiter (like a def foo(): line in Python, etc.)

There's a global variable g:indented_blocks_use_footer, which is a list of filetypes (the same names as for set ft=...). If you're editing a file with one of these types, then the ai motion will also select the line below. This var is empty at the moment; let me know if there's something good to add to it by default.

Features

• Text motions ii and ai, to select just the inside of the block or also the introduction line, respectively
• Usable after an operator (d, y, etc.), or in visual mode
  • In visual mode, repeating the motion will keep expanding the selection to outer levels
• Accepts a count for n enclosing scopes

Bugs

• Doesn't like one-line blocks. If you try to select one, it'll go for the outer one instead.
