## What it is
A Vim plugin that switches code between single-line and multiline forms with two keybindings (gS to split, gJ to join). It supports many languages including Ruby, Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Go, and Rust.

## Use cases
- split a one-line if statement into a multiline block in vim
- join a multiline code block into a single line
- expand html tags across multiple lines while editing
- reformat code structure quickly in vim
- toggle between compact and expanded code styles

## When to choose
- you edit code in Vim or Neovim and frequently restructure one-liners into blocks
- you want a lightweight, language-aware split/join refactoring tool
- you work across many languages and want consistent keybindings

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Vim or Neovim
- you need full automated code formatting rather than manual split/join transforms
