vim-dragvisuals

Drag around visual blocks or lines in vim. Created by Damian Conway, presented at OSCON 2013. I simply made the script git-installable and pathogen-compatible.

Installation

Without pathogen:

mkdir -p ~/.vim/plugin
cd ~/.vim/plugin
curl -O https://raw.github.com/koljakube/vim-dragvisuals/master/plugin/dragvisuals.vim

As a cloned git repository (with pathogen):

mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/koljakube/vim-dragvisuals.git ~/.vim/bundle/dragvisuals

Or as a git submodule (also with pathogen):

mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle
git submodule add https://github.com/koljakube/vim-dragvisuals.git ~/.vim/bundle/dragvisuals

After that, add the following to your .vimrc, or look into dragvisuals.vim for alternatives:

vmap  <expr>  <LEFT>   DVB_Drag('left')
vmap  <expr>  <RIGHT>  DVB_Drag('right')
vmap  <expr>  <DOWN>   DVB_Drag('down')
vmap  <expr>  <UP>     DVB_Drag('up')
vmap  <expr>  D        DVB_Duplicate()
