Question: Could there also be a Word Navigator?

[nickmilo]

It may seem too granular to move individual words around, but I actually find myself wishing I could whenever I'm fiddling with sentences. Would this too be possible someday maybe?

Just to clarify, are you mainly after the ability to select individual words? Since you can already navigate between words via native OS keyboard shortcuts.

I figured there might already exist a shortcut. To clarify, I would want to move the highlighted word, as opposed to just navigating/bouncing between them.

Right, I see. What sorts of movements do you envision? Swapping positions with adjacent words?

[nickmilo]

Yes, that was the movement I had in mind. (Slow reply by me.) Sent via Superhuman ***@***.***>

Yeah that should be possible 👍

I used this feature heavily in my IDE and was about to dive into writing a custom plugin just for this.
There is a shortcut in phpstorm that selects a word, then expands into a sentence, then a line, then a block.

I would be happy to see it merged into this plugin.

@usernotnull does timhor/obsidian-editor-shortcuts#38 sound more like what you're after? (Incrementally expanding the selection, as opposed to swapping adjacent words which is what this current issue is about)
