Atom-movement key theme would be more useful if it were inhibited inside comments

Open bpstahlman opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

I doubt I'm the only one accustomed to using delete and change operators with word and WORD text objects to edit the text of an existing comment. With the "atom-movement" key theme enabled, the results can be pretty surprising (and disconcerting). Even moving around in a comment becomes a challenge without w, W, b, B, etc. Is there a valid use case for having atom movements work within a comment? I suspect that changing/deleting to the end of a comment (or the beginning of what follows) is a much less frequent operation than changing/deleting words within a comment. Perhaps there could be an option to inhibit the atoms when point is within a comment.
