How should I modify a normal mode map set by a plugin?

Hey all,

I have a question that I think should have a better answer.

I used to have a couple normal mode maps in my .vimrc that went like this:

nnoremap n nzz
nnoremap N Nzz

which, as I'm sure I don't need to tell most of you, causes the next search result to be centered (usually) when the user presses n/N. These maps worked great for a long time... Until I installed the IndexedSearch plugin, which I do really like by the way. This broke my maps which annoyed me for quite some time until today when I decided to track down the cause.

Typing 'verbose map n' gave me the following:

n n * :let v:errmsg=''<CR>:silent! norm! n<CR>:call <SNR>34_ShowCurrentSearchIndex(0,'!')<CR>
Last set from ~/.vim/bundle/IndexedSearch/plugin/IndexedSearch.vim

So now I see that the IndexedSearch plugin has stolen my maps. So, for now I have changed the appropriate lines in the IndexedSearch.vim plugin as follows to get back the previous behavior without losing IndexedSearch's addition. So, I'm happy now.

nnoremap <silent>n :let v:errmsg=''<cr>:silent! norm! nzz<cr>:call <SID>ShowCurrentSearchIndex(0,'!')<cr>
nnoremap <silent>N :let v:errmsg=''<cr>:silent! norm! Nzz<cr>:call <SID>ShowCurrentSearchIndex(0,'!')<cr>

My question is: Is there a better way to do this? Instead of actually modifying the plugin code I'd like to simply modify the map after IndexedSearch has set it. I did skim both Google and ':help map' but nothing popped out at me as answering my question.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers,

Ethan Alan
