Javascript Text Objects

This package defines text objects that should make your Javascript development experience even more enjoyable.

This package has text objects defined for:

functions

single-line comments

multi-line comments

Known limitations

Each of these text objects is cobbled together using rudimentary regular expressions and Evil movement commands. As such, there are a few limitations that are known. We hope to address each of these and eventually add test coverage to prevent regressions and support TDD, which would be immensely helpful during the implementation phase.
