Moving functions / structs / parameters

[leandrobbraga]

Hello, what do you guys think about the possibility of moving functions, structs and parameters. Is it currently possible?

Imagine that there are three functions

f_1
f_2
f_3 <- cursor here

Would be useful to have the possibility of swapping their positions around (move-up, move-down).

For example, after a move-function-up:

f_1
f_3 <- cursor here
f_2

The same would go for structs and function parameters, functions and struct being interchangeable with each other.

I used to use this feature all the time in Intellij.

I guess this would be possible, since helix is based on tree sitter.

Thank you!

For lines, I use x d kkkjjjkjkj P.

Occasionally, for functions, I do maf xd kkkkkjjkkjjkkk P.

Is it possible to bind "maf"? I couldn't find it.

I manage to build a keybind that does ["delete_selection", "goto_next_function", "add_newline_below", "move_line_down", "paste_after", "add_newline_below"] and another that does ["delete_selection", "goto_prev_function", "move_line_up", "paste_before", "add_newline_below"]. This is very close, but not quite, just missing the "maf" part.

Not currently (#1723 and #4287)

Thank you, I guess I'll have everything I need after those are merged. So I'm not 100% sure if it's necessary to have this function out-of-the-box since it will be possible to build it manually

This solution doesn't quite work in all situations, it does not correct for indentation for example.
