treesitter-unit

A tiny Neovim plugin to deal with treesitter units. A unit is defined as a treesitter node including all its children. It allows you to quickly select, yank, delete or replace language-specific ranges.

For inner selections, the main node under the cursor is selected. For outer selections, the next node is selected.
