description

Swap two words. Simulate the M-t (transpose-words) in Emacs or Bash. Usage:   Just press <M-t> (Alt-t) in insert mode, normal mode or command-line.   count is also supported. 8<M-t> will push the word befor the cursor right 8 times   repeat.vim (vimscript #2136) is also supported. When it present, press dot   (.) in nornal mode will repeat the this function. Note: In gvim, <M-t> may open menu, this can be disabled by :set winaltkeys=no In the console, <M-t> may just doesn't work, you can enable it by :exec "set <M-t>=\<Esc>t" In some terminal such as gnome-terminal, <M-t> may open the menu of the terminal, this can be disable in the configuration of the terminal. or you may change the <M-t> to other keys such as <Leader>t :nmap <Leader>t <Plug>Transposewords :imap <Leader>t <Plug>Transposewords :cmap <Leader>t <Plug>Transposewords Typically, <Leader> is slash '\', you can press \t to do the same work. Put these in startup file as you like. This script act more liky M-t in Bash than M-t in Emacs. I have checked http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip47 and swap (vimscript #3250.) In these solutions, either changes cannot be undo nicely, or the search history are changed, and many other difference from the M-t in bash. Advantages:   1. `foo| != ba|r`: when the cursor is between two bar ('|'), and M-t      pressed, `foo` and `bar` will be transposed. (same as in bash)   2. `bar foo|`: when the two words are transposed, the cursor will be      right after the second word `foo`. (same as in bash)   3. Correctly undo the cursor position.   4. Does not change the search ('/' or '?') history.   5. Also work on command-line.      Note: On a input() command-line with '=' prompt, it does not work.   6. The pattern which match the words are customizable. (default '\k\+',      set g:transwrd_wordpattern in startup file.)
