## Features
- Operators:
- Evaluate text and replace with output.
- Exchange text regions.
- Multiply (duplicate) text.
- Replace text with register.
- Sort text.
- Automated configurable mappings to operate on textobject, line, selection. Can be disabled in favor of more control with `MiniOperators.make_mappings()`.
- All operators support `[count]` and dot-repeat.

## Installation
This plugin can be installed as part of 'mini.nvim' library (**recommended**) or as a standalone Git repository.
There are two branches to install from:
- `main` (default, **recommended**) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled).
- `stable` will be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase in `main` branch.
Here are code snippets for some common installation methods (use only one):
(Recommended) With vim.pack (on Neovim 0.12 and newer)
**Full library**
Follow ['mini.nvim' installation](https://nvim-mini.org/mini.nvim#installation).
**Standalone plugin**
Main branch:
```lua
vim.pack.add({ 'https://github.com/nvim-mini/mini.operators' })
```
Stable branch:
```lua
vim.pack.add({
{ src = 'https://github.com/nvim-mini/mini.operators', version = 'stable' },
})
```
With mini.deps (before Neovim 0.12)
**Full library**
Follow [recommended 'mini.deps' installation](https://nvim-mini.org/mini.nvim/readmes/mini-deps#installation).
**Standalone plugin**:
Main branch:
```lua
add('nvim-mini/mini.operators')
```
Stable branch:
```lua
add({ source = 'nvim-mini/mini.operators', checkout = 'stable' })
```
With folke/lazy.nvim
**Full library**
Follow ['mini.nvim' installation](https://nvim-mini.org/mini.nvim#installation).
**Standalone plugin**
Main branch:
```lua
{ 'nvim-mini/mini.operators', version = false },
```
Stable branch:
```lua
{ 'nvim-mini/mini.operators', version = '*' },
```
**Important**: don't forget to call `require('mini.operators').setup()` to enable its functionality.
**Note**: if you are on Windows, there might be problems with too long file paths (like `error: unable to create file : Filename too long`). Try doing one of the following:
- Enable corresponding git global config value: `git config --system core.longpaths true`. Then try to reinstall.
- Install plugin in other place with shorter path.
## Default config
```lua
-- No need to copy this inside `setup()`. Will be used automatically.
{
-- Each entry configures one operator.
-- `prefix` defines keys mapped during `setup()`: in Normal mode
-- to operate on textobject and line, in Visual - on selection.
-- Evaluate text and replace with output
evaluate = {
prefix = 'g=',
-- Function which does the evaluation
func = nil,
},
-- Exchange text regions
exchange = {
-- NOTE: Default `gx` is remapped to `gX`
prefix = 'gx',
-- Whether to reindent new text to match previous indent
reindent_linewise = true,
},
-- Multiply (duplicate) text
multiply = {
prefix = 'gm',
-- Function which can modify text before multiplying
func = nil,
},
-- Replace text with register
replace = {
-- NOTE: Default `gr*` LSP mappings are removed
prefix = 'gr',
-- Whether to reindent new text to match previous indent
reindent_linewise = true,
},
-- Sort text
sort = {
prefix = 'gs',
-- Function which does the sort
func = nil,
}
}
```
