Vim-Flattery

Flattery will lead you everywhere.

Flattery provides targets for f/t searches, either as a conveniency [eg. fb searching for ), as for text-objects] or creating new target types.

All mappings are configurable.

Example:

          tl  2tl   3tl     fd    fu  2fu   fgr   fr          fh   fgb fb
          |    |     |      |     |   |     |     |           |    |   |
  let snake_case_ident = foo.camelCaseMember['bar'] . autoload#func(baz)
      |                |                            |                 |
   <Cursor>            fe                          2fd                fz

Targets

a
Jump to the next closing angle bracket, like f>.

b
Jump to the next closing paren, like f).

c
Jump to the next closing curly brace, like f}.

r
Jump to the next closing square bracket, like f].

u
Jump to the next uppercase letter.

l
Jump to the next word limit, ie. the char just after an "alnum-word". An alnum-word is defined here as a series of alphanumerics, irrespective of the 'iskeyword' or 'isident' options.

w
Jump to the next alnum-word. Useful to move around in, for instance, snake-case identifiers like 'did_load_filetypes'.

z
Jump to the char just before end-of-line.

d
Jump to the next dot char ..

e
Jump to the next equal sign =.

h
Jump to the next hash char #.

p
Jump to the next pipe char |.

s
Jump to the next slash char /.

Pairs

Parens, curly braces and brackets (angle & square) usually work in pairs: by default, Flattery jumps forward to the closing one, and backward to the opening one. This is entirely configurable; it can be reversed, or set to always jump to the opening or closing element.

Mappings

In addition to targets, the following mappings are available by default:

ff maps to F
tt maps to T
fv maps to builtin f (so you can hit fva to search an a char)
fg swaps the opening/closing element for pairs (parens and brackets)
fj repeats the last search
fx goes one char farther, eg. fxb jumps just after a closing paren (only works for flattery targets)

Settings

Check the doc for the full list of settings.

"Ain't Gonna Need It"

It is trivial to replace the simplest targets with maps in your .vimrc, [eg. nnoremap fb f)], and this is how it was initially done by yours truly. If this is all you will ever need (eg. no new targets, no pair handling), please do so.
