jump to next empty line?

[yatayata]

is there a way to remap ctrl-up/down to jumpt to the next empty line?

i use this for navigation in emacs all the time, and just leave an empty line as punctuation in my code...

tx!

you could look at using bookmarks. Ctrl+F2 to toggle a bookmark, and F2 to go to the next one.

You could use the code below and tweek it a bit.
My previous editor was TextPad and I used move by paragraph all the time. I missed it dearly and wrote a command for it.
I have it mapped to alt+up/down and the selecting variants mapped to ctrl+shift+up/down.
Hope this helps.

Another option is:

Code: Select all

{ "keys": ["alt+up"], "command": "move", "args": {"by": "stops", "empty_line": true, "forward": false} },
{ "keys": ["alt+down"], "command": "move", "args": {"by": "stops", "empty_line": true, "forward": true} }

Another option is:

Code: Select all

{ "keys": ["alt+up"], "command": "move", "args": {"by": "stops", "empty_line": true, "forward": false} },
{ "keys": ["alt+down"], "command": "move", "args": {"by": "stops", "empty_line": true, "forward": true} }


I was looking for the same command (curly braces in Vim command mode, I always used it) and this is the correct answer, thanks.

Didn't know "move by stops" exists !!!

Is there a comprehensive list of command and their arguments ?
Maybe there's a way to generate it automatically ?

[tobia]

More to the point: how do we extend the above command with shift to get selection by whole paragraphs?
(shift+alt+up/down = select up to the prev/next empty line)

This would be very useful to quickly move blocks of code around.

Is there a select by stops command?

[adzenith]

You can add "extend":"true" to any movement command, I think. Just create another binding with the shift key involved.

[tobia]

Thank you!

This is the complete set of bindings that solve my issue:

Code: Select all

{"keys": ["alt+up"], "command": "move", "args": {"by": "stops", "empty_line": true, "forward": false}},
{"keys": ["alt+down"], "command": "move", "args": {"by": "stops", "empty_line": true, "forward": true}},
{"keys": ["shift+alt+up"], "command": "move", "args": {"by": "stops", "empty_line": true, "forward": false, "extend": true}},
{"keys": ["shift+alt+down"], "command": "move", "args": {"by": "stops", "empty_line": true, "forward": true, "extend": true}},

Thanks lappri,

I have been missing paragraph jumping tonnes.
