Support omap command about vrapper HOT 6 CLOSED

Interesting. This feature request seems really useful but unfortunately I have no idea how difficult it would be to implement. The original authors of Vrapper passed it on to me and I don't actually know how the key mapping feature works. I'll check with them to see if they have any ideas.

We should be able to implement this feature request but I'm afraid it might take some time.

I know it's been awhile since this feature was requested but I think I got omap working. I needed it to workaround my fix for #353. I've updated the unstable update site with a new build (0.39.20131225) which includes this feature. I don't know if I'm handling all scenarios correctly though. I'm hoping someone out there cares enough about this feature that they're willing to test it for me. I've never used the feature myself so I don't understand the nuances of it.

I would test, but honestly the only use that I know of for omap is for plugins. For example, I have vim plugin that omaps to create a "z" operator. Vim automatically sends a special v:operator argument to the omap, so the omap'd function knows what motion it is responding to.

I don't know how this could be used in vrapper.

Anyways, I just tried this (after updating to 0.39.20131225):

onoremap z :ls<cr>

That should execute :ls after typing something like cz or dz, but it seems to ignore the z and just performs the c or d, and the buffer list isn't shown.

btw, the same mapping does work as expected in Vim.

That mapping didn't work for you because Vrapper didn't support moving to command-line mode while an operation was pending. I don't see any real use case for it, but I've added that ability in d2bc18f since Vim seems to support it. With that new change, your mapping behaves the same as Vim.

The description for this feature request mentioned dvorak users, that's the use case which I'm hoping we now support. I don't have any intentions of supporting v:operator for complex functions calls since we don't currently support functions in vimscripts either.
