I'm looking for the quickest method to yank an entire (php) function
when the cursor is somewhere in the first line of the function
definition like this (| = cursor):
fun|ction foobar() {
if (true) {
return "not false :)";
}
}
One possible solution would be:
jvaBVy
But I'm wondering if there it is possible in a shorter way and maybe
without using visual mode.
f{y%
or even shorter:
$y%
(if the opening brace is always the last character on the line)
Is this for something like vimgolf?
Thanks for your suggestion Christian! However when I try this, it
does not entirely do what I was looking for (my bad for not
explaning it good enough).
I want to yank the entire method, so that includes the entire first
line (function foobar() {). Your suggestion also works if i change
it to first invoke visual mode and at the end press V to change it
to visual line-mode, but i was wondering if it is somehow possible
to do this in just a few keystrokes and possibly without using
visual mode.
Oh yes. I tried your first version and somehow I only got the body of
the function so I suggested something, that should have worked similar.
However, if your functions are separated by blank lines, you can use the
} motion to jump between paragraphs. That would make your keysequence to
0y}
That does the trick indeed! Unless there are blank lines in the
function, because vim sees it as different 'paragraphs'. But I figured
out that in that case you can provide a count to the } command like 0y2}
when there are two blank lines in the function. For me this is not
really a problem as I try to keep my functions short (20 lines or less),
so the blank lines are easy to count. If not, I can always fall back to
the previous command-combinations with visual mode.
Thanks again! I learned some cool new tricks today :)
