---

Plugin pour mieux gérer les langages où l'indentation est sémantique (python...)

• Meilleurs motions ([[ pour les définitions python etc.)
• text objects intelligents (blocks de codes plutôt que par indentation)

Features

You can use :BracelessEnable +feature to enable feature

Text objects

• more intelligent than indented blocks
• actual code blocks using iP and aP

Object motions

• move between blocks : [[ and ]] (any keyword)
• move to def and class
  • ]m and [m : beginning of these blocks
  • ]M and [M : end of these blocks

Folding

• intelligent folding by adding +fold
  • exciting details in :h braceless-folds

Indent guide

• enable with +highlight
• enable colorcolumn so the guide can span the height of the window
• for other filetypes : vim plugin local-indent

Somewhat intelligent auto-indent

• intelligent autoindent when adding +indent
  • pep8 indentation built-in
  • temporarily the vim plugin delimitMate expand_cr when messing with block arguments (multi-line arguments)

(The backspace key was never used in the image above)

EasyMotion

• Built-in support for EasyMotion
  • search for important blocks (def, class)

Not just Python!

Braceless can simply recognize indentation.

The above GIF was using:

autocmd FileType haml,yaml,coffee BracelessEnable +indent +fold +highlight

You can extend Braceless to give full support to other indented languages. See :h braceless-custom
