## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: editor, parser, developer-tools
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools, parsers
