Horizontal edgemotion

[mwgkgk]

I had a feeling that I was lacking something:

map <M-j> <Plug>(edgemotion-j)
map <M-k> <Plug>(edgemotion-k)
" Poor man's horizontal edgemotion
map <M-h> B
map <M-l> E

But really edgemotion works differently than B/E. Next I tried to implement it using vim-patternjump, but still I couldn't quite express it with the regexes; before peeking at edgemotion source to see islands in sea describing the logic.

Please close if you don't find the idea interesting, I will probably try to implement this on my own at some point 💚

B and E are easy to press and don't need an alias.

I use <C-h> and <C-l> as aliases for ^ and $, which are harder to press and thus more desperately need easier alternatives. They are more useful approximations of a horizontal equivalent of edge-motion.

nmap     <silent> <C-h>           ^
xmap     <silent> <C-h>           ^
omap     <silent> <C-h>           ^
nmap     <silent> <C-l>           $
xmap     <silent> <C-l>           $
omap     <silent> <C-l>           $
