Re: g@ seems to ignore user-defined motion maps

Perhaps that's why only Vim {motion}s are considered? In the case of Paredit, Tamas has graciously agreed to add explicit normal mode mappings for d), c), etc..., which is an acceptable workaround.

This is not what I see. Here's a test case consisting of the map-operator example from the Vim help, along with a normal mode remapping of $ to G. Hitting $ in normal mode now goes to the end of the file, but hitting <F4>$ counts only the spaces on the current line...

nmap <silent> <F4> :set opfunc=CountSpaces<CR>g@
vmap <silent> <F4> :<C-U>call CountSpaces(visualmode(), 1)<CR>
nmap $ G

function! CountSpaces(type, ...)
let sel_save = &selection
let &selection = "inclusive"
let reg_save = @@

if a:0 " Invoked from Visual mode, use '< and '> marks.
silent exe "normal! `<" . a:type . "`>y"
elseif a:type == 'line'
silent exe "normal! '[V']y"
elseif a:type == 'block'
silent exe "normal! `[\<C-V>`]y"
else
silent exe "normal! `[v`]y"
endif

echomsg strlen(substitute(@@, '[^ ]', '', 'g'))

let &selection = sel_save
let @@ = reg_save
endfunction
