This thing enables you to move through and reform your code like magic. At least it aims to do it :)
Here is a list of supported commands:
| Command | Key* | Description |
|---|---|---|
| find_word_up | ctrl+up | Jump to previous occurrence of a word at cursor |
| find_word_down | ctrl+down | Jump to next occurrence of a word at cursor |
| def_up | alt+up | Jump to previous function or class declaration |
| def_down | alt+down | Jump to next function or class declaration |
| smart_up | alt+[ | Jump to previous declaration or block2 |
| smart_down | alt+] | Jump to next declaration or block2 |
| move_word_right | ctrl+alt+/ | Swap word at cursor with a next one |
| move_word_left | ctrl+alt+. | Swap word at cursor with a previous one |
| move_block_up | ctrl+alt+; | Swap block with a previous one |
| move_block_down | ctrl+alt+' | Swap block with a next one |
| expand_next_word | alt+d | Expand selection to next word matching one at cursor1 |
| select_scope_words | alt+shift+d | Select words in function scope matching word at cursor1,3 |
| select_scope_up | ctrl+shift+; | Select block2/function/class at cursor, select enclosing one on next hit3 |
| select_scope_down | ctrl+shift+' | Undo last select_scope_up |
| delete_block | ctrl+alt+d | Delete block at cursor with appropriate adjusting empty lines |
| extract_expr | alt+enter | Extract selected expression into an assignment4 |
| inline_expr | alt+= | Inline variable defined on line at cursor |
* Current key bindings are very experimental, especially on OS X.
1 Matches only whole words, case-sensitive, comments and strings are skipped.
2 Block is a adjacent commented lines or a blob of text surrounded with empty lines.
3 Works for python, js, plain text. Tries to work for other languages.
4 Works for python, js, ruby, php (and any languages with no keyword to define var).
- Install Package Control.
- Bring up the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+p (Cmd+Shift+p on OS X).
- Select "Package Control: Install Package" (it'll take a few seconds).
- Select or type in "Reform" when the list appears.
I have plans. Here is a list if you want to help and looking where to start:
- Move functions up and down.
- Better select words in scope: expand to next scope on subsequent hit, autodetect name scope.
- Break long lines.
- Break long strings, several variants including switching to multiline separators.
- Reform dicts (object literals) from one-line to multi-line and back.
- Same for calls, calls with keyword arguments, array literals.
- Reform multiline list, set, dict comprehensions and generator expressions.
- Align =, =>, :, \ and other punctuation
- Switch brackets, parentheses, whatever.
- Move blocks respecting functions.
Also, support for more programming languages for language-dependent commands will help.
