Question 1

How do I set up custom keybindings for nvim-various-textobjs?

Accepted Answer

You can disable default keymaps and use vim.keymap.set to call text object functions as Ex-commands for dot-repeatability, as shown in the 'Use your own keybindings' section. For example, map 'U' to require('various-textobjs').url() with a CR command.

Question 2

What's the difference between nvim-various-textobjs and treesitter-textobjects?

Accepted Answer

nvim-various-textobjs uses pattern-based selections that work across many file types without Treesitter, making it lightweight but less accurate for language-specific structures. treesitter-textobjects provides more precise, language-aware text objects but requires Treesitter setup and may not cover all languages.

Question 3

Can nvim-various-textobjs select indentation blocks in Python code?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it includes indentation text objects like 'ii' and 'ai' that select lines based on indentation levels, which is useful for languages like Python. The README explains variants like greedy outer indentation for functions with annotations.

Question 4

How does forward-seeking work in this plugin?

Accepted Answer

Many text objects have forward-seeking behavior, searching ahead within a configurable range (small or big lines) to find the next occurrence, allowing operations without cursor movement. This is highlighted in the overview table and configuration options.

Question 5

Is nvim-various-textobjs compatible with lazy.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports lazy.nvim with an event-based setup; however, the README notes that if you use default keymaps with lazy-loading, you might need to add lazy = false or adjust settings to ensure keymaps work properly.

Question 6

How can I create a custom command using the API?

Accepted Answer

You can use text object functions as an API, such as dynamically switching settings or creating hybrid behaviors. The 'Advanced usage / API' section provides examples, like a smarter gx that seeks forward to open URLs without cursor placement.
