nvim-treesitter-textobjects is a Neovim plugin that leverages Tree-sitter's parsing capabilities to define and manipulate text objects based on the abstract syntax tree (AST) of your code. It enables precise, language-aware editing operations, moving beyond simple regex-based text objects to understand the actual structure of programming languages. ## Key Features - **Syntax-Aware Selection** — Define custom text objects (like `@function.inner` or `@class.outer`) for precise selection within syntactic structures. - **Intelligent Movement** — Jump between text objects (e.g., functions, classes, loops) with mappings that understand code hierarchy. - **Node Swapping** — Swap adjacent syntactic nodes (like parameters or arguments) with simple commands. - **Repeatable Actions** — Make movements repeatable with `;` and `,` for efficient navigation. - **Extensible Queries** — Override or extend built-in textobjects by adding custom Tree-sitter query files. - **Multiple Modes** — Support for charwise, linewise, and blockwise selection modes per text object. ## Philosophy The plugin embraces Tree-sitter's accuracy to provide text objects that are deeply integrated with the language's syntax, offering a more reliable and intuitive editing experience compared to traditional pattern-based approaches.
