How to make whole line ignore semi-colon?

[hbarcelos]

Sometimes we want to surround and entire line, but keep the ; as the last character.

If I enable the vim-surround mode I can:

foo| bar baz; -> yssb -> (foo| bar baz;).

Would it be possible to make the "whole line" text object ignore the ;$ pattern so I can:

foo| bar baz; -> yssb -> (foo| bar baz);.

Unfortunately, there is no such functionality, but it seems convenient. I may consider including it.

Here are a couple of workarounds (default bindings)

sat;)

or if the line contains semi-colons

sa/;$<cr>)

Thanks for that. Workarounds are nice!

They assume I'm already at the beginning of the line though. Most of the time I use sandwich, I'm in the middle of some line.

_sat;) might do the trick though.

It would be nice to have a i; text object though, so I could simply:

sai;) sri;)] ci;

Sounds good.
