How to make meow-block work with quotes

[Esnos33]

I just find out that forward-sexp works with double quotes, but meow-block doesn't. Is there a way to add double quotes to the list of things that meow-block works with?

It doesn't. I'm thinking maybe we need a sexp related command.

With a 30-60 key limit, I think more commands than of-things could be used with a popup mini buffer; with that, you could map much more commands than 60.

I'm planning after exams to implement match mode from helix with smartparens and defvar-keymap, because right now to change brackets I use inner-of-things+round kill block change insert-exit <type my bracket> yank, but I would like to just <get to sp-rewrap-sexp> <type my bracket>

Also, do you know how to mark two or more words with mark-word? I like how mark-word works right now with one word, but I always have to fall back to vanilla emacs commands when I want to mark two or more words, which is cumbersome.

Generally, why do emacs not have commands that move by whitespace? There are some cases where I have to use find or till to move to my "between whitespaces characters" that aren't alphanumeric because otherwise, I literally skip from the middle of a line to the next line. In helix/vim, I never have this problem. word would just go to the next whitespace or non-alphanumeric, and WORD would just go to the next whitespace.

This is not the solution. In fact, there's no need for meow to support this, even though we have these thing commands, but that's not important. There are so many ways to achieve this with just some key bindings and meow is not against those. Take the editing commands from meow as those from a normal package, they address some problems, but aren't a 100% solution for text editing.

To mark two words, you do mark-word then next-word.

I can't believe I missed it haha

Maybe I'm talking only for myself, but meow doesn't feel like "another package for editing". It's a completely different editing model compared to vanilla emacs and I think most people would prefer to stick to just one editing model. If there are commands in vanilla emacs that are complementary with meow, maybe they should be listed somewhere? Or show which commands in vanilla emacs are replaced with meow, and everything else should be achieved with vanilla emacs?

I also want to expand meow tutor, because there are some commands that aren't listed there, particularly block sync-grab pop unpop and probably more. Also grab could be better explained with more examples. I would also show some useful commands from vanilla emacs, so new to emacs users wouldn't be scared of using vanilla emacs.

That will be nice. One idea I'm thinking is to make meow-mark-word, meow-mark-symbol behaves more similar to builtin mark-word and mark-symbol then we add mark-sexp as well. Then we can select multiple items by just repeating the command.

So mark-word mark-work mark-word would work like mark-word next-word next-word?
