Struct TextObjRange 

pub struct TextObjRange {
    pub start: Position,
    pub end: Position,
    pub is_linewise: bool,
}

Range computed by a text object command.

Text objects like iw, aw, i" compute a range directly instead of moving the cursor. When executed during operator-pending mode, they store the range for the operator resolver to consume.

Coordinate System

• start: First position in the range (inclusive)
• end: First position AFTER the range (exclusive)

This matches Rust’s standard Range<Position> semantics.

Example Flow

1. User presses d → enters operator-pending mode
2. User presses iw → InnerWord command executes
3. Command calculates word boundaries and creates TextObjRange
4. Command stores range in session extension state
5. Operator resolver’s on_command_complete consumes the range
6. Delete operation uses the range

Fields

start: Position

Start position (inclusive).

end: Position

End position (exclusive - points to first char NOT in range).

is_linewise: bool

Whether this is a linewise text object (e.g., ip, ap).

Linewise text objects affect entire lines, similar to linewise motions like j, k, gg, G.

Implementations

impl TextObjRange

pub const fn characterwise(start: Position, end: Position) -> TextObjRange

Create a new characterwise text object range.

Characterwise ranges operate on a specific range of characters, like iw (inner word) or i" (inside quotes).

pub const fn linewise(start: Position, end: Position) -> TextObjRange

Create a new linewise text object range.

Linewise ranges affect entire lines, like ip (inner paragraph) or ap (a paragraph).

pub const fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Check if this range is empty.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for TextObjRange

fn clone(&self) -> TextObjRange

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for TextObjRange

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for TextObjRange

fn eq(&self, other: &TextObjRange) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
