Textobj-user is a Vim plugin that enables users to define their own text objects in the software.
For those who are new to Vim, this text editor was first released in 1991 by Bram Moolenaar for the Amiga computer. Its full name is Vi Improved, and it was created as an extended version of the vi editor. Unlike many modern text editors that rely on menus and icons, Vim's interface is based on commands given in a text user interface. Though this can be daunting to learn at first, it ultimately makes the editing process much more efficient.
Vim is free and open source software, released under a software license that is compatible with the GNU General Public License. The program's license includes some charityware clauses. While Vim is cross-platform, it is most popular on Unix-like operating systems.
To help users learn the basics of Vim, the program includes a built-in tutorial for beginners. Additionally, the Vim Users' Manual details both basic and advanced features of the software. This manual can be accessed within Vim or found online. Vim also has a built-in help facility that allows users to query and navigate through commands and features using the :help command.
To use textobj-user, you'll need to have Vim 7.0 or higher installed. The latest release of the plugin includes bugfixes and the addition of textobj#user#plugin() to define key mappings and a command to support writing various user-defined text objects. Overall, if you're looking to enhance your Vim experience, textobj-user is a valuable tool to consider.
