How to quickly delete the entire method?

[yaoqiangpersonal]

like this title, I want to find a way that can quickly delete the entire method. But I didn't find it in the end. Can anyone tell me?

You can create some clever vim mapping to do this.
e.g. if you place your caret at the first line of function definition nnoremap dm Va{%d would do the job for functions like this:

fun name(args): Int {
  ....
}

or even better nnoremap dk V/{<CR>%d would also work for functions where arguments occupy multiple lines:

fun name(arg1,
arg2) {
  ...
}

thanks a million. I use the way that it is like you supply.

@magidc's solution is better as it allows you to delete the method when executing the command from wherever inside the target method.
This solution only works if the closest enclosed curly-brackets surrounding the caret are the curly brackets of the function.

@Sebastian-Nielsen you are right
by the way the issue is related to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/VIM-480/Add-text-objects-for-code-constructs-like-a-method-and-a-class . You can upvote the ticket or follow it's progress if you want (the more upvotes ticket has the more chances it will be implemented soon)

This is my solution:
nnoremap dam :action MethodUp<cr>v0Of{%d
It is based on a remap but it uses and action from Intellij. With this approach you can be in any position inside a method and still will do the job.

[magidc]

I have added a small modification to the mappings that allows to copy, delete or change methods (whole or just body) from any position of the method body or declaration:

nnoremap yim j:action MethodUp<cr>f{vi{y
nnoremap dim j:action MethodUp<cr>f{vi{d
nnoremap cim j:action MethodUp<cr>f{vi{c
nnoremap yam j:action MethodUp<cr>v0Of{%y
nnoremap dam j:action MethodUp<cr>v0Of{%d
nnoremap cam j:action MethodUp<cr>v0Of{%c

Wow, somehow I missed that we have access to Intellij commands in ex, the, at is a game changer for me! Thanks for sharing the solutions above. I wrote my own variations, which are more general but with the trade-off of i ones not working with multi-line method declarations (I have a feeling there is a solution for that somewhere though...).

Those don't rely on curly braces so work for more languages and contexts, instead using the vim-standard ]m motion). Note that I switched m to f as that's what I'm used to from the nvim plugin I'm used to.

nnoremap Vaf :action MethodUp<cr>V]M
nnoremap vaf :action MethodUp<cr>V]M

nnoremap Vif :action MethodUp<cr>jV]Mk
nnoremap vif :action MethodUp<cr>jV]Mk

nnoremap daf :action MethodUp<cr>V]Md
nnoremap dif :action MethodUp<cr>jV]Mkd

nnoremap yaf :action MethodUp<cr>V]My
nnoremap yif :action MethodUp<cr>jV]Mky

nnoremap caf :action MethodUp<cr>V]Mc
nnoremap cif :action MethodUp<cr>jV]Mkc

Until today I was using the indent text objects provided by michaeljsmith/vim-indent-object (still a good workaround for those i/multi-line signatures)

[magidc]

it is not actually that hard once you understand the Intellij model. There were parts where I struggled because lack of documentation but once I managed to solve those situations all was quite straight forward. Now that the base is done, it is very easy to extend and define new features.

If you miss some text object in AnyObject or some new swichable tags in Dial, feel free to ask, I would add them with pleasure

@magidc oh cool. Does it completely replace the functionalities of these plugins?

Plug 'vim-scripts/argtextobj.vim'
Plug 'kana/vim-textobj-entire'

I assume this one isn't covered at all:

Plug 'michaeljsmith/vim-indent-object'

[OptimusCrime]

I replaced Vim Switch and Vim FunctionTextObj with @magidc 's two plugins, as they offer more functionality.

Great work by the way!

Thanks!!! Many more features to come :)

Thanks you!!

Indent object will be included in the next release (this week). Condiftionals (if,switch...) will be also included.
If you find more case you would like support or you have any feedback, feel free to comment

AnyObject version 1.3.0 released: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/28333-vim-anyobject
It includes text objects for conditionals (if-else, switch, try-catch...) and for indented text blocks (like vim-indent-object)
