# move

It's annoying to delete and paste parts of a text just to move it up/down or

left/right a bit.

There is the `:m[ove]` command but it is quite awkward to use by todays

standards. vim-move is a Vim plugin that moves lines and selections in a more

visual manner. Out of the box, the following keys are mapped in visual and

normal mode:

       Move current line/selection up

       Move current line/selection down

       Move current character/selection left

       Move current character/selection right

The mappings can be prefixed with a count, e.g. `5` will move the selection

up by 5 lines.

Features:

* vertical motions

* horizontal motions

* automatic indentation

* undo multiple moves with single `:undo`

See this short demo for a first impression:

## Installation

vim-move is compatible with all major plugin managers. To install it using

Vundle, add

```vim

Bundle 'matze/vim-move'

```

to your `.vimrc`.

To install it using vim-plug, add

```vim

Plug 'matze/vim-move'

```

to your `.vimrc`.

## Customization

Use `g:move_key_modifier` to set a custom modifier for key bindings in normal mode. For

example,

```vim

let g:move_key_modifier = 'C'

```

which will create the following key bindings:

       Move current line/selections up

       Move current line/selections down

Use `g:move_key_modifier_visualmode` to set a custom modifier for key bindings in visual mode. For

example,

```vim

let g:move_key_modifier_visualmode = 'S'

```

which will create the following key bindings:

       Move currently selected block up

       Move currently selected block down

And so on...

*NOTE*

Both `g:move_key_modifier` and `g:move_key_modifier_visualmode` default to 'A'

for backwards compatibility with previous versions of vim-move.

If the default mappings do not work, see the `move_normal_option` option in the

help doc.
