In NeoVintageous, I would like to be able to swap between ‘true’ and ‘false’ with a single command, rather having to do ciw and then type the new value each time.
There are many plugins for vim that will do this, but I don’t think it’s possible to install extra plugins with Vintageous. So is my best route to look for a native sublime text plugin?
My first thought is to create a mapping but I can’t think of a way to get it to toggle. Two separate ones is easy enough:
nnoremap <leader>t ciwtrue<Esc>
nnoremap <leader>f ciwfalse<Esc>
You could create a Sublime plugin then create a mapping to it, for example let’s say you create a plugin:
a quick example
import sublime_plugin
class TrueFalseToggle(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit):
for sel in self.view.sel():
word = self.view.word(sel)
word_str = self.view.substr(word)
if word_str in ('true', 'false'):
replacement = 'true' if word_str == 'false' else 'false'
self.view.replace(edit, word, replacement)
Then map it:
nnoremap <leader>t :TrueFalseToggle<CR>
I’m really grateful for your help here.
Reading your code example made me think that surely this must already exist for ST. The ToggleWords plugin allows toggling between words inside user-defined arrays, like this:
true -> false
yes -> no
on -> off
0 -> 1
left -> right
top -> bottom
up -> down
width -> height
This looks awesome. Their out-of-the-box shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+x, which is fine, but using a vim leader would make more sense inside the vim world.
The leader I use is <space>.
I tried modifying their keymapping as follows:
{
"keys": [" ", "t"],
"command": "toggle_word",
}
This works, but it works in all modes, including insert mode, which isn’t acceptable.
I therefore tried mapping it inside .neovintageousrc, as you suggested, but I can’t find a way to make it work. This is what I’ve tried that doesn’t work:
nnoremap <leader>t :toggle_word<CR>
When I tell the console to log all commands, it just reports
command: _nv_feed_key {"key": "<space>"}
command: _nv_feed_key {"key": "t"}
but it doesn’t actually run the toggle_word command. (Using Ctrl+Alt+X does run the command.)
If NeoVintageous uses the command_mode setting, then the following should work:
[
{ "keys": [" ", "t"],
"command": "toggle_word",
"context": [
{ "key": "setting.command_mode" },
],
},
]
Create a mapping:
noremap <space>t :ToggleWord<CR>
Using a keymap will cause conflicts because after you press <space> Sublime waits for the next key bypassing NeoVintageous.
To map to Sublime Text commands you need format the command name as MixedCase. The
command name is converted to snake_case before being executed by Sublime Text
and basic arguments in the form “key=value” are accepted, for example: >
nnoremap <leader>i :GotoSymbolInProject<CR>
nnoremap <leader>f :ShowOverlay overlay=goto text=@<CR>
nnoremap <leader>t :ToggleWord<CR>
See :help nv for details on mapping support.
noremap <space>t :ToggleWord<CR>
Yes, that does the trick perfectly.

I’m glad I stopped trying random variations on “toggle_word” because I would never have guessed it needs to be given as “ToggleWord”!
