add operation yank-to-last-character-of-line

[diogocampos]

...to allow mapping Y to do this instead of yanking the entire line.

Any reason you can't create a mapping to do this with the existing yank command and a motion like you would in vim? (map Y y$)

[jacekkopecky]

I suspect the reason is that composing vim-mode's commands can really only be done inside vim-mode; perhaps we need some kind of API for that? Time to look at what those services are all about.

[jacekkopecky]

Oh, combining motions outside of vim-mode is possible: here's what I have in my init.coffee to combine n and zz:

atom.commands.add 'atom-text-editor.vim-mode.command-mode', 'jacek:center-next', ->
  editor = atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor()
  editorElement = atom.views.getView(editor)
  vimState = VimMode.getEditorState(editor)
  vimState.pushOperations new Motions.RepeatSearch(editor, vimState)
  vimState.pushOperations new Scroll.ScrollCursorToMiddle(editorElement, {leaveCursor: true})

And then in the keymap.cson:

'atom-text-editor.vim-mode:not(.insert-mode)':
  '\\': 'jacek:center-next'

This could, however, be easier.

[jacekkopecky]

I think this should be possible in the author’s own configuration by combining y and $. Currently there's a way outlined above; but should vim-mode provide an API akin to vim’s :map?

[mattr-]

Vim doesn't provide one, so my vote (initially) is 'no'

[mattr-]

Oh, wait, I misunderstood the question earlier. Initially, I said 'no' because I wasn't in agreement with providing a default mapping for Y. That being said, I'd love to see a :map command implemented in vim-mode, but Atom's already existing facilities are useful for this too, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[romgrk]

I do have a personnal :map command but it's not production level.
It allows to write mappings like:

maps =
    '<a-k>': '5k'
    '<a-j>': '5j'
    '<a-d>': '<c-d>'
    '<a-u>': '<c-u>'

nmaps =
    '<CR>':   'o<esc>'
    '<S-CR>': 'O<esc>'
    'Y':    'y$'
    'S':    'v$hs'

If you're interested I could try to bundle something.
