vim-textobj-user not working with vim-operator-replace about vim-textobj-user HOT 6 CLOSED

Does the problem happen for all user defined text objects or only for specific text objects?

from vim-textobj-user.

Sorry for the delay. I haven't done exhaustive searching, but all of the following have failed:

    "kana/vim-textobj-user": {},
    "kana/vim-textobj-indent": {},
    "kana/vim-textobj-line": {},
    "kana/vim-textobj-entire": {},
    "kana/vim-textobj-lastpat": {},
    "norcalli/textobj-gitgutter": {},
    "Julian/vim-textobj-brace": {},
    "beloglazov/vim-textobj-quotes": {},

So it appears so, yes.

Thank you for the list. I'll investigate the problem soon.

I found the cause of the problem. The problem happens when vim-operator-replace is used with any text object defined with vim-textobj-user. But it's not possible to fix the problem by tweaking vim-textobj-user. Workarounds are necessary to vim-operator-user and vim-operator-replace.

Suppose that _ is mapped to vim-operator-replace and au is mapped to a user-defined text object. If user typed "a_au, what actually executed is something like "ag@:normal! vhhjjkkll<CR>.

vim-operator-replace uses v:register to know what register is specified. But v:register contains the last specified register. In this example, v:register contains a until executing :normal!, then it is overwritten with " after executing :normal!. And built-in text objects don't overwrite v:register. That's why wrong register is used.

I'll fix the problem later.

Sounds good. Thank you for investigating further. I thought I recognized
this problem in operator before, and I too will look into a solution.

Thank you,
