Mapping that mixes recursive and non-recursive behavior

Question

I'd like to define a mapping that performs a "recursively" defined behavior (e.g. uses a <Plug> target) followed by a non-recursively defined behavior. For example, using the camelcase motion plugin, I want to move forward a camelcase word and then enter insert mode. Neither of these work:

nmap -w <Plug>CamelCaseMotion_wi
nnoremap -w <Plug>CamelCaseMotion_wi

Because the i needs to be done non-recursively and <Plug>CamelCaseMotion_w needs to be done recursively. What's the best way to achieve my goal?

Answer 1

You can do this by introducing your own nore map:

nnoremap <plug>(my-i) i
nmap -w <Plug>CamelCaseMotion_w<plug>(my-i)
