Visual mapping different from motion

[AckslD]

If I'm in for example the following python file:

if True:
    pass
else:
    pass

on the first pass and I do eg di% I get:

if True:
else:
    pass

but if I go into insert mode and do i% I get the following selection (marked with []):

if[ True:
    pass]
else:
    pass

Is this the intended behaviour? Is the difference because the di% is linewise rather than charwise? Can one choose between linewise and charwise?

Thanks for a great plugin!

It is intended, there is some discussion at :help matchup-feat-linewise.

Please see if this option (remove d and/or y as necessary) works for you:

let g:matchup_text_obj_linewise_operators = ['d', 'y']  # set to []

Thanks @andymass, makes sense!
