#+TITLE: avy-zap [[http://melpa.org/#/avy-zap][file:http://melpa.org/packages/avy-zap-badge.svg]] [[http://stable.melpa.org/#/avy-zap][file:http://stable.melpa.org/packages/avy-zap-badge.svg]]

Zap to char using [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy][avy]].

Note: The behaviors of the dwim function when called with prefix and without prefix are inverted now! By default(i.e. when the dwim function is called without prefix), the avy version will be used now! For those who want the old behavior, set the following variable to =nil=: : (setq avy-zap-dwim-prefer-avy nil)

This package is basically a fork of the functionality of [[https://github.com/waymondo/ace-jump-zap][ace-jump-zap]], but using [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy][avy]] instead of [[https://github.com/winterTTr/ace-jump-mode][ace-jump-mode]] as the jumping method.

• Setup : (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/avy-zap.el") : (require 'avy-zap)

  Recommendation: install =avy-zap= via [[http://melpa.org][melpa]].

• Usage Use =avy-zap-to-char= or =avy-zap-up-to-char= to perform =zap-to-char= or =zap-up-to-char= in "avy-style"!

  There are two Do-What-I-Mean versions: =avy-zap-to-char-dwim= and =avy-zap-up-to-char-dwim=. =avy-zap-(up-)to-char-dwim= will perform =zap-(up-)to-char= with prefix. If calling dwim versions without prefix, then =avy-zap-(up-)to-char= will be used instead. The plain =zap-(up-)to-char= will also be used when you are defining or executing a macro.

  You can give key bindings to these commands. For example: : (global-set-key (kbd "M-z") 'avy-zap-to-char-dwim) : (global-set-key (kbd "M-Z") 'avy-zap-up-to-char-dwim)

• Customization

  • =avy-zap-forward-only=: Setting this variable to non-nil means zapping from the current point. The default value is =nil=.
  • =avy-zap-function=: Choose between =kill-region= and =delete-region=. The default value is =kill-region=.
  • =avy-zap-dwim-prefer-avy=: Whether the default dwim behavior(when called without prefix) of avy-zap' should use avy' or not. The default value is =t=. You can set this variable to =nil= if you prefer using plain zap when calling the dwim commands without prefix.

• Compared to ace-jump-zap This package provides the same functionality as =ace-jump-zap=, but lacks the =ajz/sort-by-closest= and =ajz/52-character-limit= customization options. I don't use the sorting feature of =ace-jump-zap=, but if someone finds it useful, welcome to submit a pull request!
