## Surround
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Helix includes built-in functionality similar to [vim-surround](https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround).
|
||
|
|
The keymappings have been inspired from [vim-sandwich](https://github.com/machakann/vim-sandwich):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Key Sequence | Action |
|
||
|
|
| --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
|
||
|
|
| `ms<char>` (after selecting text) | Add surround characters to selection |
|
||
|
|
| `mr<char_to_replace><new_char>` | Replace the closest surround characters |
|
||
|
|
| `md<char_to_delete>` | Delete the closest surround characters |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can use counts to act on outer pairs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Surround can also act on multiple selections. For example, to change every occurrence of `(use)` to `[use]`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. `%` to select the whole file
|
||
|
|
2. `s` to split the selections on a search term
|
||
|
|
3. Input `use` and hit Enter
|
||
|
|
4. `mr([` to replace the parentheses with square brackets
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Multiple characters are currently not supported, but planned for future release.
