Mapping ciw to cw does not work as expected

[tom-rb]

Description

Basically I want:

"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
        {
            "before": ["c","w"],
            "after": ["c", "i", "w"]
        },
        {
            "before": ["v","w"],
            "after": ["v", "i", "w"]
        },
]

What happens is that, after pressing cw, the sequence of keys sent is cciw and I end up with a whole line being changed (cc) and then the characters iw are inserted.

After pressing vw it just ignores mapping and behave as vw instead of the desired viw.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Configure the mapping as indicated in the description above
2. In normal mode, trigger cw
3. See error: whole line substituted by iw.

Expected behavior
After pressing cw I expected that only the word under cursor is deleted and insert mode is activated.

Environment

• Extension Name: vim
• Extension Version: 0.16.0
• OS Version: Linux x64 4.4.0-133-generic
• VSCode version: 1.26.1

Workaround

By using the following mapping I can get the expected behavior for cw:

"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
        {
            "before": ["c","w"],
            "after": ["i", "w"]
        },
]

I can't use the same workaround for mapping vw to viw.

What's the output when trying https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim#debugging-remappings?

For config "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [ { "before": ["c","w"], "after": ["c", "i", "w"] } ]:

console.ts:136 [Extension Host] debug: ModeHandler: handling key=c.
console.ts:136 [Extension Host] debug: Remapper: normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive. before=c,w. after=c,i,w.

And for vw -> viw

console.ts:136 [Extension Host] debug: ModeHandler: handling key=v.
console.ts:136 [Extension Host] debug: Remapper: normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive. before=v,w. after=v,i,w.

Did you find a resolution to this problem? I'm facing something similar.

Besides the workaround I've mentioned, nope.

Bummer. Thanks anyway
