# place.vim
place.vim allows you to add insertions to your text without moving your cursor.
If you suffer from the following problems, this plugin might be for you:
- Forgotten to add a ';' at the end of a line.
- Forgotten var, let, $ or any other variant at the beginning of a line.
- Wanted to insert some text without having to enter insert mode, move to the place, leave insert mode, and go back

## Mapping
Add a mapping of your choice to get place.vim working for you.
Example:
```
nmap ga <Plug>(place-insert)
```
## Examples
(Examples are using `ga` as the prefix key but it can be anything you want)
place.vim works in the 'vim' way. Here are a few examples of what it does
`|` denotes cursor position
### #1
```
function(na|me, $age)
gab$
```
Results in
```
function($name, $age)
```
### #2
```
$thi|s->doSomeStuff = 5
ga$;
```
Results in
```
$this->doSomeStuff = 5;
```
### #3
It also supports multiple line motions
```
This
is
a
really long
line
gaG.
```
Results in
```
This
is
a
really long
line.
```
### #4
A more complex motion (t)
```
T|his is Y sentence
gatYM
```
Results in
```
This is MY sentence
```
## FAQ
> I want to enter 'var' or 'let' like you said I could in the README!
Sure thing, there's a separate mapping `<Plug>(place-insert-multiple)` to map to.
Read the docs.
Either that or you can enable it globally:
`let g:place_single_character_mode = 0`
Now, when you finish your motion, an input box will appear with what you want to insert.
This is turned off by default because I imagine the majority of people want to insert small things like $ or ;. |
