Clojurians Log v2

You know in vim, let's say I have this...

poi {:uuid id            
             :name name
             :label label
             :location location
             :active active}]))

and I want to delete poi, but have the {} block shift over to the left as I delete each character of POI (or delete the entire word POI)....how do?

I guess the delete has to be aware that it has to shift the entire map left

isn't that a job for an auto-formatter instead?

You would think 🙂 I use parinfer

but if I delete the poi, it ends up like this

ah! then it should do it

I guess

{:uuid id
             :name name
             :label label
             :location location
             :active active}]))

it dosn't shift over the rest of the contents of the map

I had a similar problem when raising forms using vim-sexp, the indentation would not be updated. But I'd expect that to work with parinfer, yes.

It should, according to Paren Mode

letmeresearch

ah-ha!

switching to let g:parinfer_mode = 'smart' or let g:parinfer_mode = 'indent' solves the problem

Interesting. I've just burned =- into my muscle memory to reformat after such an operation.

@dharrigan i also use parinfer. in a situation like that, i usually put my cursor on the { and press ==

or =%

@nate what is =-? i'm intrigued!

...ah yes, and i actually don't have this problem because when i delete poi, the entire map shifts to the left :echo g:parinfer_mode does display smart, so that makes sense

@dave =- is a mapping provided by vim-sexp that reindents from the top form

just like == indents the form you're cursor is in

oh, cool!

that's super useful

does parinfer provide the == mapping or do you also have vim-sexp installed?

i have vim-sexp installed. looks like it's being provided by vim-sexp

thanks all 🙂
