nvim-treesitter
Additional text-objects to be handled by incremental selection.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Incremental selection on nvim-ts is a useful feature, and is logically bound to ts-defined objects. I wonder if we could add more objects to it, so that, it'd not treat a string, for instance, as a single object, but select more gradually within the string, say inside a word ('iw'), for instance, then around word ('aw'), and then the entire string.
It might be possible but only in the few languages that have nodes for words within strings.
P.S. This should probably go to nvim-treesitter-textobjects.
Nvim-treesitter does not have an incremental selection feature yet. Also, it can only select tree-sitter defined objects.
When you look at the source code of incremental selection it is roughly
- get current selection
- get node enclosing current selection
- get parent of node
- set new selection to new node's range
Isn't it possible to use regular b, w motion to extend a selection world-wise? Nvim-treesitter-textobjects would allow to do also certain tree-sitter motions
