How to move to function/class name instead of keyword

[rbhanot4739]

Hi there, I have the config

textobjects = {
      move = {
        enable = true,
        set_jumps = true, -- whether to set jumps in the jumplist
        goto_next_start = {
          ["]f"] = "@function.outer",
          ["]c"] = "@class.outer",
        },
        goto_next_end = {
          ["]F"] = "@function.outer",
          ["]C"] = "@class.outer",
        },
        goto_previous_start = {
          ["[f"] = "@function.outer",
          ["[c"] = "@class.outer",
        },
        goto_previous_end = {
          ["[F"] = "@function.outer",
          ["[C"] = "@class.outer",
        },
      },
    }

With this config when i press ]f it moves to the next function definition i.e. def for python files func in go and so on. However i constantly find myself pressing w after ]f to actually move to the function name (e.g if I want to copy function name), while this isn't a problem in itself, out of curiosity I was wondering how can I modify the above mappings so that I jump to the function or class name directly when I press ]f or [f without having to press w explicilty.

1. Run :InspectTree in a python file.
2. Press o in the tree to open a query editor
3. Write a query to select a function name. I'll call it @function.name

4. Once you have a query ready, put it in your ~/.config/nvim/after/queries/python/textobjects.scm

; extends
(function_definition
  name: (_) @function.name)

This is your custom query.

Note

If you name it to @function.name, it will prefer to select the range within @function.outer. So even inside a function body, if you want to change the function name, you can do it and it will look backwards to find the name.

If you don't like this behaviour, name it to @function_name or something else.

Thank you so much for the pointers.
