This package adds two new Evil states:

• iedit state
• iedit-insert state

It has also a nice integration with expand-region for quick edit of the current selected text by pressing e.

You can either install evil-iedit-state from MELPA:

 M-x package-install evil-iedit-state

Or add it to your Cask file:

(source melpa)

(depends-on "evil-iedit-state")

Add evil-iedit-state.el to your load path. evil-iedit-state requires both iedit and evil to be installed.

Key Binding    |       From         |          To

-------------------|:------------------:|:-------------------------: e | expand-region | iedit ESC | iedit | normal C-g | iedit | normal ESC | iedit-insert | iedit C-g | iedit-insert | normal

To sum-up, in iedit-insert state you have to press ESC twice to go back to the normal state. You can also at any time press C-g to return to normal state.

Note: evil commands which switch to insert state will switch in iedit-insert state.

iedit state inherits from normal state, the following key bindings are specific to iedit state.
