Mini.operators: if you have a custom mapping on _ (underscore), the line (grr, gxx, gmm) operators break about mini.nvim HOT 2 CLOSED

Don't remap _ which is a built-in textobject for line.

Ah, that's it. I didn't know it's a text object. (confusion: I did know but thought 'textobject' meant it would be used as i_ and a_)

Thank you!

I'm stubborn with my mappings though so your second suggestion will do :)

Didn't expect the solution to look like this but here it is:

vim.keymap.set("o", "💩", "_")
vim.keymap.set("n", "grr", "gr💩", {remap=true})
vim.keymap.set("n", "gmm", "gm💩", {remap=true})
vim.keymap.set("n", "gxx", "gx💩", {remap=true})
vim.keymap.set("n", "g==", "g=💩", {remap=true})

Thanks for the issue!

This is an expected and documented behavior. Line variants are usually a direct mapping which relies on _ built-in textobject. You can see it by :nmap grr, for example. This is not the case for gss which maps to ^gsg_, which is also documented.

I'm wondering, is there like some ! (bang) missing somewhere in the code where re-mappings should be ignored? Or some similar small thing like this.

Using normal! won't work here as mapping relies on remapped meaning of operator prefixes (so that it will be as if user pressed gr_, etc.).

I don't think rewriting the whole mapping logic is worth in this case. So my suggestion would be:

• Don't remap _ which is a built-in textobject for line.
• Make custom mappings for grr, gmm, gxx, g== which eventually uses textobject for current line.

Closing as not planned.
