Vimproviser

Vimproviser was designed to repeat motions.

Vimproviser provides commands and mappings that allow for a quick remapping of two of your most convenient keys to actions that are most important for you right now.

Quick start

Map some convenient keys to Vimproviser mappings

nmap h <plug>(vimproviser-left)
nmap l <plug>(vimproviser-right)

Run the command to choose situational mappings for h and l

For example:

:VimproviserMap QuickFix

will remap h to :cprevious<cr> and l to :cnext<cr>.

Try other arguments

" :bprevious and :bnext
:VimproviserMap Buffers
" @h and @l -- improvise away!
:VimproviserMap Macros
" h and l -- boooring
:VimproviserMap Characters

Use <c-d> (:h cmdline-completion) to see all available options.

Triggers

Triggers are just actions connected to some pair. VimproviserLast will perform an equivalent of VimproviserMap Pair for the last pair that was triggered. Define a bunch of triggers for pairs:

let g:vimproviser_triggers = {
\    'Changes': ['g;', 'g,'],
\    'Characters': ['<left>', '<right>'],
\    'Macros': ['@h', '@l'],
\}

Now imagine you need to go deep into the changes you made recently, hit g; as usual, then VimproviserLast, now you can use h and l to go back and forth.

Vimproviser is partly inspired by unimpaired.vim. They work together nicely!
