Hello!

I am a big fan!

When will "e" roll in? I need it very much for textual work. Is there a specific reason why it is difficult to implement?

With thanks!!

[pit-ray]

To reproduce the perfect w and e, semantic analysis is required. To make matters worse, for win-vind to get the text, it has to copy the text once, retrieve it from the clipboard, parse it, and paste it again. Thus, the performance is very poor.

The ~ command implemented in such a way is so loaded that it does not allow to replace continuously by pressing and holding it.

Therefore, if pseudo-simple and simple enough, I can implement it.

I see.

Since e is only a caret position command (and not text replacement like ~) I assume it will not be very slow but behave more like w is today (which is great)?

Also, I think partial implementation can still be very useful. For example, I've noticed partial implementation when in Word I move down/up from line to line: vind moves one visual line every time and not according to sentence structure (with line break). But it is not difficult to follow and use it even as it is ...

My point is that even with partial implementation, the usage of e could be really great and helpful. Would you consider implementing a partial e (like you might be doing with w)?

Thanks!

I understand.
I moved it to the highest TODO. (ref. https://github.com/pit-ray/win-vind/projects/2#card-60790113)

Thanks!!

An in-progress release #76 with the addition of the e command is now available.
Please try it out and give us feedback.

Since it was over a year ago, I will not mention it. However, I welcome the expansion of the community.

Unrelated question: can I map the print screen key prt sc and what is it called as <> tag?

[pit-ray]

The print screen key is the <snapshot> keyword.
See the bottom of https://pit-ray.github.io/win-vind/cheat_sheet/keywords/.

What is <>tag? Please details.

[gilbh]

Thank you! I was just looking for the <snapshot> and called it a <>tag. Nothing meant by that.

[pit-ray]

I see. Thanks!
