Other useful kill-targets

[bbatsov]

I think it'd be great if easy-kill supported out-of-the-box a few extra kill targets, namely:

• whole buffer
• from current point to end of buffer
• from current point to beginning of buffer
• from current point to end of line
• from current point to beginning of line
• sentence
• paragraph
• previous line
• next line

I agree. It would free many key bindings.

It also makes it more consistent and completely solves this issue: #16

Hi all,

Sorry for my delay and thanks for the report.

Do you mean add them to easy-kill-alist i.e. give each a custom key, or just add these things for users to pick and use?

[tuhdo]

Yes, give them prefix M-w as other easy-kill objects.

[bbatsov]

What @tuhdo just said. :-)

I am particularly excited about:

• from current point to end of line
• from current point to beginning of line

I would use those daily.

[leoliu]

Thanks, I'll get to this issue soon, hopefully. I have an idea to integrate such things nicely with easy-kill. Thanks to all for the input.

I've been so much in love with easy-kill I created an extension package for it: https://github.com/knu/easy-kill-extras.el

I think it now has almost everything mentioned in this issue. You can install it from MELPA.

[holocronweaver]

@knu Why not merge this with upstream easy-kill?

[knu]

@holocronweaver I don't know.

[bbatsov]

@knu already proposed a couple of pull requests, but they haven't been accepted yet. Guess @leoliu is busy.

[knu]

I think they need some tests before they can be merged. I'll work on it when I get the time.

[holocronweaver]

@knu If that will be awhile, I can write the tests.

[knu]

@holocronweaver That will be great, please go ahead!

[y2rayk]

i am interested in a merge of this

[Yevgnen]

So, any news of this ?

[manuel-uberti]

Anything? :)

[leoliu]

Sorry I haven't been able to give this package much time due to life and work. I wonder if anyone is interested in taking over? Thanks.

[knu]

@leoliu I think I can work on this as a co-maintainer and help deal with issues and bring in new features.

[bbatsov]

@leoliu I can help from time to time as well.

[leoliu]

Hi @knu and @bbatsov,

Thank you very much. I have invited both of you to join the repo.

Thanks again.
Leo
