Introduction

An emacs command that is clone of "ci" in vim.
You can use ci", ci(, ciw and so on with Ctrl-c, i.
Also you can copy them with Ctrl-c, o instead of Ctrl-c, i.
This is standalone package and you can probably use in any mode.

I decided to remove cit on master branch, because it's too huge.
I'm not going to add cit againg for now.
Other command is still available and I think it's almost complete.

Comapision with others

• Similar to the behavior of vim.
• Possible to kill the nested parentheses if cursor is inside.
• No dependencies.
• Works in any mode.
• Support copying to register.

Installation

Download ciel.el somewhere.
For example:

cd ~/.emacs.d/elisp/
git clone https://github.com/cs14095/ciel.el

or download from melpa.

M-x package-install ciel

Then add the following in your .emacs file:

(setq load-path (cons "~/.emacs.d/elisp/ciel.el" load-path))
(require 'ciel)
(global-set-key "\C-ci" 'ciel-ci)
(global-set-key "\C-co" 'ciel-co)
(global-set-key "\C-crs" 'ciel-copy-to-register)

or you installed by melpa, then just add

(global-set-key "\C-ci" 'ciel-ci)
(global-set-key "\C-co" 'ciel-co)
(global-set-key "\C-crs" 'ciel-copy-to-register)

additionaly you want to bind spacific command, then add

(global-set-key "favorite key" 'ciel-kill-a-word)
(global-set-key "favorite key" 'ciel-copy-a-word)
(global-set-key "favorite key" '(lambda ()
									(interactive) 
									(ciel-kill-region-quote "favorite quote")
(global-set-key "favorite key" '(lambda ()
									(interactive)
									(ciel-kill-region-paren "favorite parentheses")
