copied!<p>Maybe it's not the answer you are looking for but I could not resist writing a VIM script for this. I put it in my .vimrc and it works for me:</p> <pre><code>map ; :call Semicolon()<CR> function Semicolon() let s:pos1 = getpos(".") normal! ; let s:pos2 = getpos(".") if s:pos1 == s:pos2 normal! 2; endif endfunction </code></pre> <p>The basic idea is that <code>;</code> will not move to the next match, but <code>2;</code> will (if there is a match). The script supports <code>;</code> after any of <code>tTfF</code>. The easiest way to implement the <code>,</code> command is to write a similar function for that.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> Changed the script after Luc's excellent suggestion</p> <p><strong>EDIT2</strong></p> <p>OK, these things are always more difficult than I originally think. The current mapping has the following problems:</p> <ol> <li>Suppose you did a search like <code>tr</code> above. Now what should <code>d;</code> or <code>c;</code> do? As far as I'm concerned they should delete or change up until the first <code>r</code> not the second. This can be solved by only doing the mapping for normal and visual mode, not operator pending mode.</li> <li>The current mapping does not work in visual mode. i.e., if you type <code>v;;;;</code> after the first <code>;</code> the editor is no longer in visual mode (because of the <code>:call</code>). This can be solved by calling the function using <code>@=</code> instead of <code>:call</code>.</li> </ol> <p>So now I end up with the following in my .vimrc (I also made one function for <code>,</code> and <code>;</code>):</p> <pre><code>" Remap ; and , commands so they also work after t and T " Only do the remapping for normal and visual mode, not operator pending " Use @= instead of :call to prevent leaving visual mode nmap ; @=FixCommaAndSemicolon(";")<CR> nmap , @=FixCommaAndSemicolon(",")<CR> vmap ; @=FixCommaAndSemicolon(";")<CR> vmap , @=FixCommaAndSemicolon(",")<CR> function FixCommaAndSemicolon(command) let s:pos1 = getpos(".") execute "normal! " . a:command let s:pos2 = getpos(".") if s:pos1 == s:pos2 execute "normal! 2" . a:command endif return "" endfunction </code></pre>
