Dot repeat of `ciw` emits 'AOrInnerWordMotion' output if 'set noshowmode' is set. about vim-wordmotion HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, thanks for using the plugin.

Vim's dot operator has a couple of known issues when interacting with custom commands.
This appears to be one of them.

E.g.,
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/doc/todo.txt#L1494

Using "." to repeat an Ex command puts that command in history.  Probably
should not happen.  If the command is the result of a mapping it's not put in
history either. (Jacob Niehus, 2014 Nov 2)
Patch from Jacob, Nov 2.

All of the mappings used have <silent> on them. If they were missing, you would see the output from the regular ciw.

I'm actually surprised that the extra output is the only thing broken with dot right now. I think I remember [count] on the dot operator not working when I first wrote this plugin.

If you want to file a bug against vim, you can reproduce this with

onoremap <silent>\w :normal w<CR>

Then d\w and repeat it with ..

Ok.

Thanks for taking the time with such a comprehensive answer.

Plugin is working with dot, so maybe I should count myself fortunate.

Best regards.

Is there a way I can restore the original behavior of ciw?

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Please create a new issue with examples (what the plugin currently does, what do you expect the plugin to do, etc).
