Swap mappings for Latin languages
The swap mappings from the Vim wiki will not operate correctly on words with accented characters.
These mappings are adapted to work with (European) ISO/IEC_8859-1 Latin-1 Supplement characters. This is done by substituting all instances of \w
in the Vim wiki code with [0-9A-Za-zÀ-ÖØ-öø-ÿ_\-]
and all instances of \_W
with \_[^0-9A-Za-zÀ-ÖØ-öø-ÿ_\-]
.
Clearing of search highlighting
Furthermore, the search highlighting is cleared where needed.
This is achieved by adding :nohlsearch<return>
at the end of each mapping where it is required.
Here is the end result:
" Use gc to swap the current CHARACTER with the next, WITHOUT changing the cursor position.
nnoremap <silent> gc xph
" Use gw to swap the current WORD with the next, WITHOUT changing the cursor position.
nnoremap <silent> gw "_yiw:s/\(\%#[0-9A-Za-zÀ-ÖØ-öø-ÿ_\-\`]\+\)\(\_[^0-9A-Za-zÀ-ÖØ-öø-ÿ_\-\`]\+\)\([0-9A-Za-zÀ-ÖØ-öø-ÿ_\-\`]\+\)/\3\2\1/<CR><c-o><c-l>:nohlsearch<return>
