Support for ruby symbol-to-block cast with `&` about splitjoin.vim HOT 6 CLOSED

What I use in this case is my switch plugin to transform from [1, 2, 3, 4].map(&:to_s) to [1, 2, 3, 4].map { |x| x.to_s } (relevant docs here). Afterwards, I can rename the x to something else and use splitjoin to split it into multiple lines.

It's slightly inconvenient, since the cursor needs to be on top of the & symbol to make the switch unambiguous. I guess it wouldn't be hard to implement this as a shorthand in splitjoin, and it would be more reliable. I'll see what I can do about it.

As for the name of the variable, you're right, there's no way to guess it. Singularizing a variable name seems like a nice idea for a default, but might be kind of hard to detect reliably. I'd just use an "x" or something and leave it to the user to rename. Even with that, I still think this kind of transformation would provide value.

I've pushed a commit that should implement this. Could you try it out and see if it feels right?

Doesn't work with method names ending with either ! or ?

Looks great besides that.

Ah, of course. I've just pushed a commit that should fix that.

LGTM! 😀
