Conflict with popular plugin vim-surround

[sencer]

Hi,

I liked your plugin, but it conflicts with vim-surround. Of course I can change the mappings for my self, but I think you also should think of something.

Actually a good idea might be overloading f, F, t, T keys so that if one presses two letters second one ~immediately after the first, these keys might work like your plugin. Otherwise they should act as vim default.

This is a simple script doing what I described, you might want to look at it:

function! Seek(dir, ...)

  let l:chr = getchar()
  if l:chr == 27 | return -1 | endif
  let l:string = a:dir . escape(nr2char(l:chr), '/*')
  sleep 200m | let l:chr = getchar(0)
  if l:chr != 0
    let l:string = l:string . escape(nr2char(l:chr), '/*')
  endif
  silent! exec "normal " . l:string . "\<CR>"
  if a:0 > 0
    exec "normal " . a:1
  endif
endfunction

nnoremap <silent> f :call Seek('/')<CR>
onoremap <silent> f :call Seek('/', 'l')<CR>
nnoremap <silent> F :call Seek('?')<CR>
onoremap <silent> F :call Seek('?')<CR>
nnoremap <silent> t :call Seek('/', 'h')<CR>
onoremap <silent> t :call Seek('/')<CR>
nnoremap <silent> T :call Seek('?', 'l')<CR>
onoremap <silent> T :call Seek('?', 'l')<CR>

Thanks for the input, I'm looking into implementing some of the stuff you mention and plan to make seek play nicer with surround.vim too.

@sencer You may want to try vim-sneak. It does not conflict with surround.vim at all.
