description

This script redefines the % motion so that (in addition to its usual behavior) it cycles through if/elif/else, try/except/catch, for/continue/break, and while/continue/break structures.  The script also defines g% to cycle in the opposite direction.  Two other motions, [% and ]%, go to the start and end of the current block, respectively. All of these motions should work in Normal, Visual, and Operator-pending modes.  For example, d]% should delete (characterwise) until the end of the current block; v]%d should do the same, going through Visual mode so that you can see what is being deleted; and V]%d makes it linewise.

python_match.vim	0.5	2003-10-02	6.0	Benji Fisher	I added support for for and while loops:  % and g% go between the start of the block and either break or continue lines. I reorganized the code and made several minor improvements.  For example, [% and ]% now accept a count,  `` goes back to where you started, and g% does nothing (insteadof acting like the default %) if the cursor starts on a line that does not begin with a recognized key word.
