Use semicolon instead of a colon

9 years ago

Using semicolon ";" instead of a colon ":" saves having to press "Shift" key many times throughout the editing process. Original semicolon mapping is to replicate last f or t command, so it's a trade off you must be willing to make.

Excellent! Yet another person doing this! I strongly believe in this.

This is my obsessive version: If the last key was an f/t movement, repeats it. If next key is w, does an immediate :write. Otherwise, replay the keys as if nothing had happened. (And display an ':' in the command-line to hide the lag.)

nmap <expr>   ;     CmdJump()

let g:quickmap = {
\ 'w':      ":w\<CR>",
...
\}

function! CmdJump ()
    if sneak#is_sneaking()
        return ":call sneak#rpt('', 0)\<CR>"
    end
    echo ':'
    let c = getchar()
    let c = (c =~ '^\d\+$')  ?  nr2char(c)  :  c

    return get(g:quickmap,  char,  ':' . char)
endfu
