feature request: other block form toggles
ExpandingMan opened this issue · 0 comments
This is a bit of an ambitious feature request, but I wanted to at least get it documented.
A while ago I asked for a feature in which I could simply push a button and functions would transform back and forth between block form and one line form. Amazingly, the prolific @carlobaldassi added this right away. This feature is wonderful and ever since I use it many times a day. It gets to a problem that writing code always has but very few text editors bother to solve: you never really know how long a line is going to be until you're done writing it.
It would be really great to have this for more block types. For example
if a
expr
end
# toggles to
a && expr
if !a
expr
end
# toggles to
a || expr
if a
expr1
else
expr2
end
# toggles to
a ? expr1 : expr2
for x in v
expr
end
# toggles to
foreach(x -> expr, v)
f(y) do x
expr
end
# toggles to
f(x -> expr, y)
Again, that's a lot and I know this is ambitious to ask for (there's basically no chance I'll ever implement this myself in vimscript, though there's a chance I'll make a separate lua plugin for it one day); but I love the function block feature that already exists so much I thought this deserved an issue.
