DESCRIPTION This plugin offers mappings to quickly duplicate and move lines to above / below the current line. A [count] either specifies the number of lines, or the relative visible target line, therefore it's especially easy to clone lines when 'relativenumber' is set. The mappings can save you several keystrokes over an explicit dd/ yy[{motion}, ...]p sequence in cases where the other lines are nearby and visible in the current window. Oftentimes, duplication in source code is a code smell. Please use this plugin responsibly ;-) SEE ALSO - The swap functionality of the plugin's [E / ]E mappings are also   available as an Ex :Swap command, provided by the companion   LineJugglerCommands.vim plugin (vimscript #4465). RELATED WORKS - Idea, design and implementation of the [<Space> and [e mappings are based on   Tim Pope's unimpaired.vim plugin (vimscript #1590). In addition, unimpaired   provides other, unrelated functionality (all via [... / ]... mappings), but   doesn't offer customization of the mappings. USAGE [<Space>                Add [count] blank lines above the current line / above                         the start of the selection. ]<Space>                Add [count] blank lines below the current line / below                         the end of the selection. [e                      Move the current line / selection [count] lines above. ]e                      Move the current line / selection [count] lines below. [E                      Exchange the current line with the line / closed fold                         [count] lines above.                         Exchange the current closed fold with the same amount                         of visible lines as are in the fold, [count] lines                         above. {Visual}[E              Exchange the selection with the same amount of visible                         lines located [count] lines above. ]E                      Exchange the current line with the line / closed fold                         [count] lines below.                         Exchange the current closed fold with the same amount                         of visible lines as are in the fold, [count] lines                         below. {Visual}]E              Exchange the selection with the same amount of visible                         lines located [count] lines below. [d                      Duplicate the current line / selection directly                         above / across [count] lines above the current line /                         above the start of the selection. ]d                      Duplicate the current line / selection directly                         below / across [count] lines below the current line /                         below the end of the selection. [D                      Duplicate the current  / [count] lines to above the                         current line. {Visual}[D              Duplicate the selection [count] times above the                         selection. ]D                      Duplicate the current  / [count] lines to below that                         range. {Visual}]D              Duplicate the selection [count] times below the                         selection. [f                      Fetch the line [count] visible lines below the current                         line and duplicate it below the current line. ]f                      Fetch the line [count] visible lines above the current                         line and duplicate it below the current line. {Visual}[f              Fetch the same number of visible lines starting from                         the line [count] lines below the current line and                         duplicate them above the start of the selection. {Visual}]f              Fetch the same number of visible lines starting from                         the line [count] lines above the current line and                         duplicate them below the end of the selection. [r                      Fetch the line [count] visible lines below the current                         line and replace the current line with it. ]r                      Fetch the line [count] visible lines above the current                         line and replace the current line with it. {Visual}[r              Replace the selection with the same number of visible                         lines fetched starting from the line [count] lines                         below the current line. {Visual}]r              Replace the selection with the same number of visible                         lines fetched starting from the line [count] lines                         above the current line.                         When the cursor is on a closed fold or the selection                         contains a closed fold, the entire set of folded lines                         is used. All mappings treat closed folds as a fixed                         entity, so they will never move / duplicate into a                         closed fold, always over it.                         A [count] specifies visible lines, closed folds are                         counted as one line, so you can use the                         'relativenumber' column to easily reach a target.                         (Except for v_[d and v_]d when at the opposite                         side of the selection.)

install details

INSTALLATION This script is packaged as a vimball. If you have the "gunzip" decompressor in your PATH, simply edit the *.vmb.gz package in Vim; otherwise, decompress the archive first, e.g. using WinZip. Inside Vim, install by sourcing the vimball or via the :UseVimball command.     vim LineJuggler*.vmb.gz     :so % To uninstall, use the :RmVimball command. DEPENDENCIES - Requires Vim 7.0 or higher. - repeat.vim (vimscript #2136) plugin (optional) - visualrepeat.vim (vimscript #3848) plugin (optional) CONFIGURATION If you want to use different mappings, map your keys to the <Plug>(LineJuggler...) mapping targets _before_ sourcing the script (e.g. in your vimrc):     nmap <C-Up>   <Plug>(LineJugglerBlankUp)     nmap <C-Down> <Plug>(LineJugglerBlankDown)     vmap <C-Up>   <Plug>(LineJugglerBlankUp)     vmap <C-Down> <Plug>(LineJugglerBlankDown)

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
LineJuggler-1.22.vmb.gz	1.22	2013-03-08	7.0	Ingo Karkat	- Expose s:DoSwap() as LineJuggler#SwapRanges() for use with the companion LineJugglerCommands.vim plugin.
LineJuggler-1.21.vmb.gz	1.21	2012-09-03	7.0	Ingo Karkat	- Avoid clobbering the expression register.
LineJuggler.vba.gz	1.20	2012-07-27	7.0	Ingo Karkat	- CHG: [d / ]d duplication without [count] still duplicates to the directly adjacent line, but with [count] now across [count] lines, which aligns with the 'relativenumber' hint. - FIX: Correct clipping at the end for the ]E mapping. - FIX: Make sure that v_[E / v_]E never swap with a single folded target line; this special behavior is reserved for the single-line normal mode swap. - CHG: For visual selections in v_[E, v_[f, v_[r, also use the amount of visible lines, not the number of lines contained in the selection. This makes it more consistent with the overall plugin behavior and is hopefully also more useful. - The workaround in s:PutWrapper() is not necessary after Vim version 7.3.272; add conditional.
LineJuggler.vba.gz	1.10	2012-07-23	7.0	Ingo Karkat	CHG: Split [f and {Visual}[f behaviors into two families of mappings: a) [f to fetch below current line and {Visual}[f to fetch selected number of lines above/below selection b) [r to fetch and replace current line / selection.
LineJuggler.vba.gz	1.00	2012-07-20	7.0	Ingo Karkat	Initial upload
