provide a toggle command about vim-wordmotion HOT 6 CLOSED

You can always do something like:

xnoremap io iw
xnoremap ao aw
onoremap io iw
onoremap ao aw

and do cio, where o means original.

Do you mean you want to use ciw on [a_really_huge_variable_using_the_normal_w_vim_motion]?
Why not ci[?

I'm not sure this is necessary.

1. If you use this plugin's word motions more often, then you use it with the default mappings and nnoremap something else to the regular word motions.
2. On the other hand, if you use regular word motions more often, then you can use this plugin's word motions with a prefix or something.

You could also consider applying a custom mapping only on the iw and aw commands, so the regular vim word objects are available, but you still use this plugin's word motions by default.

i(, i[, i{, i", iW (WORD not word), etc, seems to cover most cases where you want larger text objects than provided by this plugin.

I'm leaving this open.I will consider it if you can provide reasonable examples where the suggestions I gave above don't work.

You are right. The example was poor because you could circumvent the problem using ci[ or similar bindings. But having a convenient surrounding arround the big word will not always be the case.

let us consider this snippet for a moment:

if [[ -n ${GIT_USER_NAME+x} ]]; then
  git config --global user.name $GIT_USER_NAME
  export GIT_USER_NAME
fi

let us suppose that user wants to refactor GIT_USER_NAME. With vim-wordmotion defaults there is no easy way to do that. Of course that :norm! ciw would function here. But dropping a whole ex-command to achieve the solution does feel clunky. You ct+ if you were on the beggining of the word. But what if the cursor is above the N of git user name? bbct+? clunky.

For completeness sake, I'll drop yet another example:

  local plug_dir=$(realpath -m $really_poorly_named_user_directory)
  if [[! -d $sytem_wide_plug_horrendous_named_dir]]; then
    echo -e "installing ${Yellow}vim${Rst} plugins..."
    vim +PlugInstall +qall
  fi

Now imagine you want to rename those awful named variables. I think now I managed to get the picture across. That's the nagging issue.

This works too:

let g:wordmotion_mappings = { 'iw' : 'ii', 'aw' : '' }

and continue to use ciw for regular words, but use cii for "inner" words.

hum, yeah. The cio bind solves the problem nicely. Thanks for pointing out that free bind, by the way. Finding free bindings like that in vim is an art form.
