POAllowing custom motion in a vim map?

Body
copied!<p>I have the following mapping that allows to paste over a word from the yank buffer. (cpw = change paste word)</p> <p><code>nmap <silent> cpw "_cw<C-R>"<Esc></code></p> <p>What I would like to do is allow commands such as the following</p> <p>cpiw (change paste in word -> like the 'iw' motion)</p> <p>cpaw (change paste a word -> like the 'aw' motion) </p> <p>for any motion {m} cp{m}</p> <p>is this possible to allow in a mapping, so I don't have to write the nmap for each motion that I want to work with it?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>EDIT: typo fixes. My solution below</p> <p>After diligently looking into the map-operator I was successful in making a function that did exactly as I wanted. For any who are interested it is as follows: </p> <pre><code>"This allows for change paste motion cp{motion} nmap <silent> cp :set opfunc=ChangePaste<CR>g@ function! ChangePaste(type, ...) silent exe "normal! `[v`]\"_c" silent exe "normal! p" endfunction </code></pre> <p>EDIT - new version that might be better.</p> <pre><code>"This allows for change paste motion cp{motion} nmap <silent> cp :set opfunc=ChangePaste<CR>g@ function! ChangePaste(type, ...) if a:0 " Invoked from Visual mode, use '< and '> marks. silent exe "normal! `<" . a:type . "`>\"_c" . @" elseif a:type == 'line' silent exe "normal! '[V']\"_c" . @" elseif a:type == 'block' silent exe "normal! `[\<C-V>`]\"_c" . @" else silent exe "normal! `[v`]\"_c" . @" endif endfunction </code></pre>
