# vim-eval-expression
Evaluate a selection or text object and replace it with its result.
## Usage
- `=` in visual mode will evaluate the current selection
- `=` followed by a text object will evaluate the text object
- `==` will evaluate the current line
## Why?
This is particularly useful to evaluate mathematical expressions:
But you can use it to evaluate anything that can be evaluated by vim. You can think of it as a shortcut to the expression (`=`) register.
## Installation
If you are using [`vim-plug`](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):
```
Plug 'fvictorio/vim-eval-expression'
```
## Acknowledgements
I used the implementation of [`vim-exchange`](https://github.com/tommcdo/vim-exchange) as the basis of this plugin, and took some functions verbatim from it.
