It can be used for collapsing and expanding everything from function calls to array and dictionary definitions. + +### Installation and Usage ### + +1. Clone or otherwise download the vim-argwrap extension from the [GitHub + page](https://github.com/FooSoft/vim-argwrap). If you are using + [vim-pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen) for plugin management (if you aren't you should) you can + clone the repository directly to your bundle directory:
`git clone + https://github.com/FooSoft/vim-argwrap ~/.vim/bundle/vim-argwrap`. +1. Create a keyboard binding for `argwrap#toggle()` inside your `~/.vimrc` file. For example, you may declare a normal + mode hotkey:
`nnoremap w :call argwrap#toggle()`. +2. Position cursor *inside* of the scope of the parenthesis or brackets you wish to wrap/unwrap (not on top or before + or after them). +3. Execute the keyboard binding defined above to *toggle* wrapping and unwrapping arguments. + +### Examples ### + +Below are examples of some common use cases demonstrating the capabilities of vim-argwrap. The extension functions the +same way regardless if it is being used on a function call, list or dictionary definitions. + +Let's first look at a simple function invocation. When there are many arguments being passed in, we may wish to wrap +them to improve readability. If we position your cursor anywhere between the `(` and `)` parenthesis and execute the +`argwrap#toggle()` command, the function call arguments will be wrapped to one per line. + +``` +Foo('wibble', 'wobble', 'wubble') + +``` +``` +Foo( + 'wibble', + 'wobble', + 'wubble' +) + +``` + +List definitions work in a similar fashion: + +``` +foo = ['bar', 'baz', 'qux', 'quux', 'corge'] +``` +``` +foo = [ + 'bar', + 'baz', + 'qux', + 'quux', + 'corge' +] +``` + +Dictionaries work just fine too: + +``` +foo = {'bar': 1, 'baz': 3, 'qux': 3, 'quux': 7} +``` +``` +foo = { + 'bar': 1, + 'baz': 3, + 'qux': 3, + 'quux': 7 +} +``` + +Finally, nested combinations of all the above are also supported: + +``` +Foo(['wibble', 'wobble', 'wubble'], 'spam', {'bar': 'baz', qux: [1, 3, 3, 7]}) +``` +``` +Foo( + ['wibble', 'wobble', 'wubble'], + 'spam', + {'bar': 'baz', 'qux': [1, 3, 3, 7]} +) + +Foo( + [ + 'wibble', + 'wobble', + 'wubble' + ], + 'spam', + { + 'bar': 'baz', + 'qux': [ + 1, + 3, + 3, + 7 + ] + } +) + +``` + +All of the above argument wrapping and unwrapping operations demonstrated above are toggle-able and correctly preserve +the indentation of the surrounding code. This extension has been tested to work in scenarios of various complexity, but +if you discover a problem let me know.
