New issue 202 by [email protected]: Dot operator doesn't work with
user-defined insert functions
http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=202
I'm trying to write a new (repeatable) operator that goes into insert mode
with a movement, similar to the built-in 'c'. But (as far as I know) it
can't be done without using feedkeys() or startinsert, both of which modify
the effect of the dot operator. 'normal! i' (or any command that enters
insert mode) doesn't work because the function doesn't wait for your input
before it terminates.
As a result it's not actually possible to recreate the functionality of an
operator like 'c' without it already existing as a primitive operator.
Another, related issue is with insert mode's <C-o>; whatever text you
inserted before using <C-o> isn't repeated by the dot operator. Ideally the
dot operator would insert the text before <C-o>, redo whatever action was
performed with <C-o>, and then insert the text after if there is any. But
it doesn't seem like the current behavior should be the expected one.
