Combobulate is an Emacs package that adds structured editing and navigation to many programming languages using Emacs 29's tree-sitter library. It extends existing movement and editing commands with syntax-tree-aware features like bulk editing, multiple cursors, and a query builder.

Use cases

  • navigate code by syntax tree nodes in emacs
  • structured editing of code in emacs
  • bulk edit tree-sitter nodes with multiple cursors
  • move around code semantically instead of by regex
  • preview complex edits before applying them
  • add tree-sitter based editing to new languages in emacs

When to avoid

  • you use an Emacs version older than 29 without tree-sitter support
  • you expect a fully stable, bug-free tool as it is under active development
  • you use an editor other than Emacs
