'< and '> are not restored with right unit
From: https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user/issues/56#issuecomment-331746213
Perhaps semi-related: I'm noticing that when I specifically do a yie, the '< and '> marks are no longer what they should be if the last visually-selected area was character-wise (i.e. a word)
For example, vjjj<Esc>yaegv reselect the same region as vjjj but it is line-wise instead of character-wise.
I've looked into the problem. It seems not to be possible to solve at the moment. Because vim-textobj-user internally uses v/V/<C-v> to select a proper region. So that the type of the last Visual mode (used by gv) is overridden. And there is no way to reset the type other than v/V/<C-v>… but these keys are not always available (especially for c).
It might be possible to solve the problem by restructuring the internal of vim-textobj-user not to use Visual mode directly. But it takes a long time to complete.
I'll try writing a prototype later: https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user/compare/prototype-to-keep-last-visual-mode
Hmm… I spent several hours on the problem and realized that it's not possible to solve the problem unless writing a patch to Vim. It's necessary to use Visual mode in vim-textobj-user for repeatability with the . command.
Reviving an old issue, but is the last comment true with tpope/vim-repeat installed?
If I understand correctly, the changes described would allow move-n and move-p to stay in visual mode. Is that true, or a separate issue?
