Vintage Mode - Sentence/Paragraph Text Objects

#1

Hi,

Loving the new Vintage mode. I’ve moved from Sublime Text (1!) to vim, but if vintage mode gets a little better, I’ll be back in a heartbeat.

A few problems with vintage mode as it is now:

  • There is not paragraph movement. This is “{” and “}” in vim. Extremely important. ST currently inserts a literal { around selected text, which is nice, but I can’t live without paragraph movements.
  • There is no paragraph text object. E.g., hitting “vip” doesn’t work.
  • There is no sentence text object. E.g., hitting “vis” doesn’t work.

I may run into several more problems, but these are the major ones so far.

I really hope these can be fixed, because I really want to come back to Sublime Text.

Is this not bothering anyone else?

If anyone could help out with code to do this, I’ll just manually add it to the vintage files. I think this is a very important feature that Sublime is missing in vintage mode.

I would also love to see Inner Paragraph (vip / yip) and Inner Sentence (vis / yis) supported by Vintage.

I moved away from Sublime to MacVim a while back but I am back in glory since I learnt about Vintage and the supreme quality of version 2. I am in text editor heaven…
