## Design causes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many times in order to quickly edit multiple pieces of the same content, SpaceVim implements a feature called `iedit`,
|
|
|
|
|
which is same as the `iedit-mode` of emacs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Mode introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With `iedit` enabled, there are two modes currently, called iedit-normal and iedit-insert.
|
|
|
|
|
These two modes are somewhat similar to the regular Normal and Insert modes. In iedit-normal mode,
|
|
|
|
|
you can move the cursor, delete content and paste content. In iedit-insert mode, you can input characters.
|
|
|
|
|
With the `core#statusline` layer, the `IEDIT-NORMAL` or `IEDIT-INSERT` modu text can be seen on the statusline.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## About documentation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can read online doc: [Replace text with iedit](../documentation/#replace-text-with-iedit), or read `:h spacevim-plugins-iedit` in SpaceVim
|
