Hi Eric,
what about implementing a simplified navigation mode like such:
just call an object: for example "method", "string", "list" etc.
Emacs will look if inside such a thing.
If yes, it marks it as region.
If not, go forward to the next in buffer.
Should take the common numeric arguments moving forward or backward.
Once the region is marked, a couple of functions already are provided
to work at it: see
'ar-bracket-region-atpt'
'ar-brace-region-atpt'
and the like provided by thing-at-point-utils.el.
which are delivered with
https://code.launchpad.net/~a-roehler/python-mode/components-python-mode
More stuff of that kind at:
https://code.launchpad.net/s-x-emacs-werkstatt/
Might deliver shorthands within the new mode, so just saying "brack"
instead of 'ar-bracket-region-atpt' should be enough than.
Cheers,
Andreas
