evil seeker

[ninrod]

As a vim expatriate, I miss dearly the seeking feature provided by the awesome and fantastic vim plugin wellle/targets.vim.

Here's a quick description of the feature:

If any of the normal pair commands (not containing n or l) is executed when the cursor is not positioned inside a pair, it seeks for pairs before or after the cursor by searching for the appropriate delimiter on the current line. This is similar to using the explicit version containing n or l, but in only seeks on the current line.

Is there some way to achieve the same effect? I know that there's currently no evil-targets port. But can it be done in evil ways?

//[cursor]
bla[h] blah blah function(a, b, c, d)

• now I hit cinb (change inside next brackets), or just cib.

//in insert mode
blah blah blah function(|) 

I just find this so convenient and quick. Don't you agree?

We're just waiting for someone to rewrite targets in elisp. Feel free. ;-)

I'd like to do it. I just wonder how hard that would be for a completely noob in elisp.
