lineindent.asciidoc

lineindent.kak

This script provides a way to indent a selection in relation with a remote line, be it using a relative index or an absolute line number.

Commands

lineindent

A single argument is expected by the lineindent function, which can take one of the following forms:

• an integer, which indicates the number of the reference line, e.g. 3

• a plus sign + followed by an integer, which points to a specific line beneath the current selection, e.g. +2

• a negative integer, which points to a specific line above the current selection, e.g. -2

Once the modifier has been passed, it will be used to pinpoint the reference line, and all the lines within the current selection will be aligned with it.

Example: indenting lines in a list (the last two lines are selected)

- this is the first item of a list
  this line was manually indented to match the first item's indentation
this line was typed after that and is part of the current selection
and so is this one

:lineindent -1<ret>

- this is the first item of a list
  this line was manually indented to match the first item's indentation
  this line was typed after that and is part of the current selection
  and so is this one
