This thing enables you to move through and reform your code like magic. At least it aims to do it :)
Here is a list of supported commands:
| Command | Key binding* | Description |
|---|---|---|
| find_word_up | ctrl+up | Jump to previous occurrence of a word at cursor |
| find_word_down | ctrl+down | Jump to next occurrence of a word at cursor |
| smart_down | alt+down | Jump to next function or class declaration |
| smart_up | alt+up | Jump to previous function or class declaration |
| move_word_right | ctrl+alt+/ | Swap word at cursor with a next one |
| move_word_left | ctrl+alt+. | Swap word at cursor with a previous one |
| select_block | -- | Select block1 at cursor |
| move_block_up | ctrl+alt+; | Swap block with a previous one |
| move_block_down | ctrl+alt+' | Swap block with a next one |
| delete_block | ctrl+alt+d | Delete block at cursor with appropriate empty lines |
| select_func | -- | Select function at cursor2 |
| extract_expr | alt+enter | Extract selected expression into an assignment3 |
* Current key bindings are very experimental, especially on OS X.
1 Block is a blob of text surrounded with empty lines.
2 Works for python, js.
3 Works for python, js, ruby, php (and any languages with no keyword to define var).
- Install Package Control.
- Bring up the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+p (Cmd+Shift+p on OS X).
- Select "Package Control: Install Package" (it'll take a few seconds).
- Select or type in "Reform" when the list appears.
I have plans. Here is a list if you want to help and looking where to start:
- Move functions up and down.
- Select scopes, functions and classes.
- Like Ctrl+D/Alt-F3 but respect word boundaries, case, scopes.
- Select all words withing scope, all references to same name.
- Break long lines.
- Break long strings, several variants including switching to multiline separators.
- Reform dicts (object literals) from one-line to multi-line and back.
- Same for calls, calls with keyword arguments, array literals.
- Reform multiline list, set, dict comprehensions and generator expressions.
- Align =, =>, :, \ and other punctuation
- Switch brackets, parentheses, whatever.
- Move blocks respecting functions.
Also, support for more programming languages for language-dependent commands will help.
