The context is that I am copy pasting React props definition into the function arguments, so that I don't have to type the variable names one by one:



// Select these 3 lines with V3j 
MyComponent.propTypes =
formName: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
formPurpose: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
formPlaceholder: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
;

<MyComponent
// Past here with the output below <----------- expeted output
formName=formName
formPurpose=formPurpose
formPlaceholder=formPlaceholder
/>


To remove the : PropTypes.string.isRequired and change it to =variableNameHere I'm using the following Vim regex:



:'<,'>s/(.*)zs:.*/=1/g


This should capture the variable name, remove everything after : and put the capture inside the curly brackets on =.



The result is the following:



formName= formName
formPurpose= formPurpose
formPlaceholder= formPlaceholder


There's an unwanted space after { and I can't figure out what is that space in the regex. Any ideas?

    you may have a whitespace at the beginning of the line maybe replace .* with w* may help? Can not reproduce that without the whitespace. If you can run vim without your plugins/conf (vim -u NONE) and try again

Use



:'<,'>s/[[:blank:]]*(.*)zs:.*/=1/g


The spaces you get are the leading spaces before your expression.
