Re: map with empty yank

PD: I'm assuming <...> and (...) expressions are not nested, of course.

One of the yanks will be empty and the other will match the desired contents. The net effect is to match the contents no matter they were inside () or <>. Now if I put that in a map it seems to abort when the first yank fails, so it only matches the contents for <...> expressions (because yi< is the first probed yank). If I put :normal yi<<CR>:normal yi( instead, the mapping works the same than when I manually type it in normal mode. The E flag is not included in my cpoptions.
