Usage

The textobj-names plugin provides a few new text-objects for working with names in source code. You can use them when you have to deal with names that are separated by delimiters like -, _, /, @ or #.

Here is an example for a situation this plugin might help you in. In your source code, you have a variable name like my-old-name. Let's suppose you have to change old to new and want to get rid of the dashes (| for cursor position). Using this plugin, you can do the following. my-o|ld-name and type ca- to get my|name from where you can insert new.

Similarly, the name could have been my/old/name or my_old_name, in which case you would have to type ca/ or ca_ respectively.

The plugin is able to handle consecutive delimiters as well. That means, transforming the variable name my__variable__name into myname can be done via one simple da_.
