vim-textobj-entire - Text objects for entire buffers

vim-textobj-entire is a Vim plugin to provide text objects (ae and ie by default) to select the entire content of a buffer. Though these are trivial operations (e.g. ggVG), text object versions are more handy, because you do not have to be conscious of the cursor position (e.g. vae).

vim-textobj-entire provides two text objects:

ae targets the entire content of the current buffer.
ie is similar to ae, but ie does not include leading and trailing empty lines. ie is handy for some situations. For example,
1. Paste some text into a new buffer (<C-w>n"*P) -- note that the initial empty line is left as the last line.
2. Edit the text (:%s/foo/bar/g etc)
3. Then copy the resulting text to another application ("*yie)
