vim-textobj-css

Text objects in Vim are very useful. They allow you to modify text by word, sentence, paragraph, HTML tag, and more. vim-textobj-user is a Vim plugin that lets you define your own text objects and this project builds on that one to let you work with CSS blocks more easily.

Usage

• vic Visually select inner CSS (inner rules)
• vac Viscually select "all" CSS (entire block w/ selector(s))
• cic Change inner CSS
• cac Change "all" CSS
• dic Delete inner CSS
• dac Delete "all" CSS

It's often handy to visually select a nested CSS block with vac and then type ac again to expand the selection to the parent block. This is shown in the above GIF.

:warning: Warning if you use vim-gitgutter :warning:

vim-gitgutter supplies some text objects for dealing with hunks and these conflict with vim-textobj-css. As the vim-gitgutter README describes, you can override those settings with something like:

omap ih <Plug>GitGutterTextObjectInnerPending
omap ah <Plug>GitGutterTextObjectOuterPending
xmap ih <Plug>GitGutterTextObjectInnerVisual
xmap ah <Plug>GitGutterTextObjectOuterVisual
