Describe the bug

First of all thank you so much for making this project! It's so essential to have real vim in an Xcode workflow. 👏🏽

Using dot repeat seems to only capture a part of the action. In the video below you can see I ciw to replace the word, then go a couple lines below and press . to repeat, but instead it deletes the word.

How to reproduce?

  1. Open a source file
  2. ciw to replace a word
  3. Use . to repeat the action on some other word

Neovim configuration

This happens with an empty vim configuration.

Unfortunately, it's a side effect of having the Insert mode handled by Xcode instead of Neovim (for performance reasons, and to improve the auto-completion, auto-indentation, etc.).

A workaround is to explicitly set the input to Neovim when in Insert mode. You can do that with :SVSetInputNvim.

Personally, I have a binding on C-n that I use after doing ciw.

imap <C-n> <Cmd>SVSetInputNvim<CR>

Alternatively, you can override ciw to toggle the Neovim input on-the-fly. You will need to do that for all the mappings you use.

noremap ciw <Cmd>SVSetInputNvim<CR>ciw

Note that by using SVSetInputNvim in Insert mode, the Xcode auto-completion won't be optimal.

Thank you, this was very helpful. I started adding overrides for the movements like ciw and they're working great.
