The main entry point of the plugin is a single command, ":Switch". When the command is executed, the plugin looks for one of a few specific patterns under the cursor and performs a substition depending on the pattern. For example, if the cursor is on the "true" in the following code:

    flag = true

Then, upon executing ":Switch", the "true" will turn into "false".

It is highly recommended to map the ":Switch" command to a key. For example, to map it to "-", place the following in your .vimrc:

    nnoremap - :Switch<cr>

Here's a list of some of the built-in switch definitions. To see all definitions, read the documentation. To see the actual definitions with their patterns and replacements, look at the file plugin/switch.vim.

Global:

  Boolean conditions:
      foo && bar
      foo || bar

  Boolean constants:
      flag = true
      flag = false

      flag = True
      flag = False

Ruby:

  Hash style:
      foo = { :one => 'two' }
      foo = { one: 'two' }

  If-clauses:
      if predicate?
        puts 'Hello, World!'
      end

      if true and (predicate?)
        puts 'Hello, World!'
      end

      if false or (predicate?)
        puts 'Hello, World!'
      end

  Rspec should/should_not:
      1.should eq 1
      1.should_not eq 1

  Tap:
    foo = user.comments.map(&:author).first
    foo = user.comments.tap { |o| puts o.inspect }.map(&:author).first

  String style (Note that it only works for single-word strings):
    foo = 'bar'
    foo = "baz"
    foo = :baz

PHP:

  "Echo" in tags:
      <?php "Text" ?>
      <?php echo "Text" ?>

Eruby:

  If-clauses:
      <% if predicate? %>
        <%= 'Hello, World!' %>
      <% end %>

      <% if true and (predicate?) %>
        <%= 'Hello, World!' %>
      <% end %>

      <% if false or (predicate?) %>
        <%= 'Hello, World!' %>
      <% end %>

  Tag type:
      <% something %>
      <%# something %>
      <%=raw something %>
      <%= something %>

  Hash style:
      <% foo = { :one => 'two' } %>
      <% foo = { one: 'two' } %>

C++:

  Pointer dots/arrows:
    Object* foo = bar.baz;
    Object* foo = bar->baz;

Coffeescript:

  Arrows:
    functionCall (foo) ->
    functionCall (foo) =>

install details
There are several ways to install the plugin. The recommended one is by using Tim Pope's pathogen (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2332). In that case, you can clone the plugin's git repository like so:

    git clone git://github.com/AndrewRadev/switch.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/switch

If your vim configuration is under git version control, you could also set up the repository as a submodule, which would allow you to update more easily. The command is (provided you're in ~/.vim):

    git submodule add git://github.com/AndrewRadev/switch.vim.git bundle/switch

Another way is to simply copy all the essential directories inside the ~/.vim directory: plugin, autoload, doc.
