Double vim-surround with *

Question

Suppose my cursor is inside a word word. Using vim-surround, entering the sequence ysiw*will replace wordwith *word*.

Question: Is there one sequence that I can print that I create instead **word**(i.e., a general markdown method for word displacement)? This runs counter to typing ysiw*twice, which seems cumbersome.

Answer 1

@ Dan Lowe's answer about using repeat.vim and is .included. However, you can also create custom environments to make regular activities faster.

Add the ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/markdown.vimfollowing to your file:

let b:surround_{char2nr('b')} = "**\r**"

ysiwb * (b ).

. :h surround-customizing.

Answer 5

As a slightly different approach, we can define new commands:

1) visual cloud cloud command, for example:

:vmap \q di****<ESC>hP

(delete the visual area, insert "****", put it back in the middle). Use it as ve\q.

2) the insert-mode command to undo the last recorded word:

:imap \q <ESC>diwi****<ESC>hPlla

3) the word boldify with normal mode under the cursor:

:map \q diwi****<ESC>hP
