Use silent! execute and <unique> to create non-clobbering mappings?

[kshenoy]

Hi, I started using vim-textobj-line again and I realized that its mappings conflict with that of this plugin. Since, I've been using n/l for next/last for quite some time now, I changed textobj-line's mappings to use _ since _ kind of represents a line-textobj. However, this still conflicts with targets.vim

Would it be possible to use :silent! execute and <unique> while creating the maps so that any user-defined mappings are not overwritten?

I was also reading your response here and was intrigued by the idea of using n/N instead of n/l. Is this something that you have tried or plan on supporting? If not, I'll just hack it in my work-area and see how it feels.

Thanks for an awesome plugin :) 👍

Good points! I will check the conflicts and respond here again.

Here are the options you currently have:

Disable l in targets.vim and use default textobj-line by putting this in your vimrc:

let g:targets_nlNL = 'nN  '

Disable _ in targets.vim and use textobj-line with _ by putting this in your vimrc:

let g:targets_separators = ', . ; : + - = ~ * # / \ | & $'
let g:textobj_line_no_default_key_mappings = 1
xmap a_ <Plug>(textobj-line-a)
omap a_ <Plug>(textobj-line-a)
xmap i_ <Plug>(textobj-line-i)
omap i_ <Plug>(textobj-line-i)

I will consider using <unique> in the future, thanks!

Thanks for the prompt response! 👍

@kshenoy: I started to use <unique> in the mappings in #90.
