Custom operators

[urob]

Are custom operators supported or are there any plans to support them?

Here's a silly example that replaces {motion} with xs. Eg, sourcing the following code and pressing gxiw in vim will replace word with xxxx.

nnoremap gx :set opfunc=Redact<cr>g@
function! Redact(type)
    execute "normal `[v`]rx"
endfunction

But sourcing the same code in ideavim does not seem to work correctly. Specifically, after pressing gx, the status line does indicate g@, suggesting that we indeed entered operator pending mode. However, after entering a motion, Redact() does not seem to have any effect.

Just for context: I'd like to use this to create an operator that executes {motion} in a Python Console (using :action ExecuteInPyConsoleAction in PyCharm). This would allow for things like 3grr to run the next 3 lines of code (with appropriate mappings for gr and grr).

Currently, the closest I can get to this is mapping gr to <Action>(ExecuteInPyConsoleAction). This works but is more cumbersome, requiring something like v{motion}gr<esc> instead of a simple gr{motion}.

Another cool application would be an operator that applies ReformatCode to the provided motion.

This is a nice idea, and I've just created a PR to add the 'operatorfunc' option. See JetBrains/ideavim#785.

This has just been merged. It should be available in the next release (probably 2.10), and available in EAP builds before then.
