### Edit 1:
I tested it locally and it works!
### IMPORTANT:
**Feedback and suggestions for improvement are greatly appreciated!**
This commit introduces a new AnyQuotes text object to handle text
surrounded by single quotes ('), double quotes ("), or back quotes (`)
seamlessly. The following changes are included:
- Added AnyQuotes to the Object enum to represent the new feature.
- Registered AnyQuotes as an action in the actions! macro and register
function to ensure proper integration with Vim actions like ci, ca, di,
and da.
- Extended Object::range to check for surrounding single, double, or
back quotes sequentially.
- Updated methods like is_multiline and always_expands_both_ways to
ensure consistent behavior with other text objects.
- Added support in surrounding_markers to evaluate any of the quote
types when AnyQuotes is invoked.
- This enhancement provides users with a flexible and unified way to
interact with text objects enclosed by different types of quotes.
Release Notes:
- vim: Add `aq`/`iq` "any quote" text objects that are the smallest of
`a"`, `a'` or <code>a`</code>
This contains the code for Zed's Vim emulation mode.
Vim mode in Zed is supposed to primarily "do what you expect": it mostly tries to copy vim exactly, but will use Zed-specific functionality when available to make things smoother. This means Zed will never be 100% vim compatible, but should be 100% vim familiar!
The backlog is maintained in the #vim channel notes.
Testing against Neovim
If you are making a change to make Zed's behavior more closely match vim/nvim, you can create a test using the NeovimBackedTestContext.
For example, the following test checks that Zed and Neovim have the same behavior when running * in visual mode:
#[gpui::test]
async fn test_visual_star_hash(cx: &mut gpui::TestAppContext) {
let mut cx = NeovimBackedTestContext::new(cx).await;
cx.set_shared_state("ˇa.c. abcd a.c. abcd").await;
cx.simulate_shared_keystrokes(["v", "3", "l", "*"]).await;
cx.assert_shared_state("a.c. abcd ˇa.c. abcd").await;
}
To keep CI runs fast, by default the neovim tests use a cached JSON file that records what neovim did (see crates/vim/test_data), but while developing this test you'll need to run it with the neovim flag enabled:
cargo test -p vim --features neovim test_visual_star_hash
This will run your keystrokes against a headless neovim and cache the results in the test_data directory.
Testing zed-only behavior
Zed does more than vim/neovim in their default modes. The VimTestContext can be used instead. This lets you test integration with the language server and other parts of zed's UI that don't have a NeoVim equivalent.
