Often I'll be doing a quick edit to a camel case word in some code and wish I could use something like text-objects to select one part of the camel case word.
For example, given this snippet:
class TextObject:
pass
If my cursor is on the 'x' in TextObject, I would like to quickly select/operate on the word 'Text'. If my cursor is on the 'j', I would like to manipulate the word 'Object'.
Vim text-objects allow me to quickly manipulate the entire word TextObject (e.g 'caw'), but I've noticed that I quite often want to manipulate only a single word in a camel case string like this.
Any pointers?
Thanks in advance

This is exactly what the CamelCaseMotion script is for. I use it all the time.
