A Neovim plugin that provides syntax-aware text objects using tree-sitter queries, supporting select, move, swap, and peek operations on code structures like functions, classes, and parameters. It extends Vim's text object concept with language-aware granularity.

Use cases

• select a whole function with a keymap in neovim
• swap function parameters syntax-aware
• jump to next function or class boundary
• delete inner part of a function or class
• peek at a function definition without leaving cursor
• define custom text objects per language

When to choose

• you use Neovim nightly or recent stable with tree-sitter support
• you want syntax-aware motions and selections instead of regex-based ones
• you already use nvim-treesitter

When to avoid

• you use an editor other than Neovim
• your Neovim build lacks tree-sitter support
• you only need simple bracket/word text objects
