DESCRIPTION
This plugin extends Vim's built-in mark handling. The :mark command can only
set lines; with :SetMarks, you can also pass a column. :Delmarks is an
extension of|:delmarks| that defaults to all marks and can wipe lowercase
marks in all buffers and uppercase marks also from the viminfo file (to keep
them from reappearing after a Vim restart).
If you use marks as bookmarks for interesting areas in a buffer, new commands
let you yank the marked lines (:YankMarks) or ranges (:YankMarkRanges,
using 'a to 'A, 'b to 'B, and so on). There are variants for ordering the
yanks by marks or lines. A separate :ReorderMarks command lets you reorder
messed up marks (e.g. if you forget setting a mark in the middle of a buffer).

SOURCE
- :YankMarks is inspired by http://stackoverflow.com/a/16314609/813602

USAGE
:SetMarks {lnum[:col]} [...]
                        Set available lowercase marks to the passed lines [and
                        virtual column]. The numbers can be separated by any
                        text.
:SetMARKS {lnum[:col]} [...]
                        Like :SetMarks, but use global uppercase marks.

:Delmarks[!]            Delete all named marks a-z (current buffer, with [!]
                        in all buffers) and global file marks A-Z (with [!]
                        also in the viminfo file).
:Delmarks[!] {marks}    Delete {marks}, with [!] lowercase ones in all
                        buffers, and uppercase ones also in the viminfo
                        file.

:[range]ReorderMarks [{marks}] [{order-expression}]
                        Reorder [a-z] / {marks} marks alphabetically / in the
                        order of given {marks} / ascending based on the value
                        returned by {order-expression} (which is evaluated
                        once on each marked line) from begin to end of the
                        buffer.

:[range]YankMarksByMark [{marks}] [{register}]
                        Yank all marked (with [a-z] / {marks} marks) lines
                        into the default register / {register} (in the order
                        of the marks, default alphabetically or as given).
:[range]YankMarksByLines [{marks}] [{register}]
                        Same as :YankMarksByMark, but yank marks from begin to
                        end of the buffer.

:[range]YankMarkRangesByMark [{marks}] [{register}]
                        Yank all ranges of lines that start with a lowercase
                        [a-z] / {marks} mark and end with the corresponding
                        uppercase [A-Z] mark in the current buffer into the
                        default register / {register} (in the order of the
                        marks).
:[range]YankMarkRangesByLines [{marks}] [{register}]
                        Same as :YankMarkRangesByMark, but yank marks from
                        begin to end of the buffer.
 
install details
INSTALLATION
The code is hosted in a Git repo at https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-AdvancedMarks
You can use your favorite plugin manager, or "git clone" into a directory used
for Vim packages. Releases are on the "stable" branch, the latest unstable
development snapshot on "master".

This script is also packaged as a vimball. If you have the "gunzip"
decompressor in your PATH, simply edit the *.vmb.gz package in Vim; otherwise,
decompress the archive first, e.g. using WinZip. Inside Vim, install by
sourcing the vimball or via the :UseVimball command.
    vim AdvancedMarks*.vmb.gz
    :so %
To uninstall, use the :RmVimball command.

DEPENDENCIES
- Requires Vim 7.0 or higher.
- Requires the ingo-library.vim plugin (vimscript #4433), version 1.038 or
  higher.
- Requires the ArgsAndMore.vim plugin (vimscript #4152), version 2.11 or
  higher (only for :Delmarks! deletion in all buffers).

INTEGRATION
- :ReorderMarks issues a MarksUpdated User event. A plugin that displays
  marks (e.g. via signs, like ShowMarks.vim) can be triggered by this to
  update the marks.
