Use EasyMotion commands as arguments not working as expected

[Michael Lustig]

Hey, awesome plugin! Thank you very much.

I think I might be doing something wrong with my mapping that's causing a bug.

Picture is worth 1,000 words

I have these two EasyMotion mappings in my .ideavimrc:

" Jump to anywhere with only `f{char}{target}`
" `f<CR>` repeat last find motion.
nmap f <Plug>(easymotion-s)
" Bidirectional & within line 't' motion
omap t <Plug>(easymotion-bd-tl)

I expect than when I press df that then the yellow targets will show, I can type one, hit and then the text designated by my search will be deleted.

Instead, I have to press d<leader>f and then after I enter the destination of my target and press , everything between my cursor and the destination is modified.

Can you help me figure this out?

Hi!
df command doesn't work because you use nmap. This mapping works only for normal mode. You should use omap to make it work with d command: omap f <Plug>(easymotion-s). You write that the command works as d<leader>f instead, but I could not reproduce this behaviour. Could you please recheck it all with omap?

Also, you've attached a screenshot that seems to describe a different issue. What keys do you press to reproduce this issue? I guess it also doesn't work because of nmap instead of vmap.

Actually, you can replace your nmap with a single map. In this case it would work for all described cases.

Sorry for the confusing description. Let me try again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82Joq4Nw35A&feature=youtu.be

I've made the changes you suggest in my ~/.ideavimrc and I'm still having an issue where everything between the cursor and destination is altered. Please let me know if this video doesn't make the issue clearer.

Just wanted to pop in and note that I was holding shift (as the letters indicated were capitalized) and I was therefore highlighting from the current position. Typing the letters without holding shift resolves this issue and I feel dumb. Thanks for an awesome port!
