Example

1. shows the difference between the db and dvb key-sequence
2. shows the difference between the dFg and dvFg key-sequence

Explanation

This is a zsh plugin. It enables Vim's inclusive v in the terminal for backward operations. That means, if you are in the vi-command-mode (vicmd) of the shell and you press v after an operator and before a motion command, then you force the operator to include the current char under the cursor in the backward operation too.

• general key-sequence-structure: {operator}v{movement}
  • {operator}: d, y, c,...
  • {movement}: b, B, h, ^, 0, |, ge, gE, F, T
    • consider: other movements are not included currently

Other features of the inclusive/exclusive v are not enabled in this widget. Hope you enjoy it anyway.

Installation

Use one of the following install-procedures to get this zsh-plugin.

antigen

antigen bundle sitdisch/zsh-vim-inclusive-v
antigen apply

manually

Clone this repository to your destination

% git clone https://github.com/sitdisch/zsh-vim-inclusive-v

and then source the zsh-file in your zshrc file.

% source .../zsh-vim-inclusive-v/zsh-vim-inclusive-v.zsh

zgen

zgen load sitdisch/zsh-vim-inclusive-v
zgen save

zplug

zplug 'sitdisch/zsh-vim-inclusive-v'
zplug install
zplug load --verbose

zplugin

zplugin light sitdisch/zsh-vim-inclusive-v

That's it. You don't have to map any new keybindings or adapt the vi-modes further.

P.s. the visual-mode with v is still working.
