I am trying to bind my keys in such a way that if I press d, then a number, and then c it deletes that number of characters, like d, number, l would do.

So for example if I press d5c it would do d5l. I could just bind all combinations, but then it would not work for for example d15c.

What would be the best way to do this?

( I am running nvim btw, may that help )

I would do:

onoremap c l

The important aspect here is that after hitting d Vim is in the Operator Pending mode.

You can control the mapping in Operator Pending mode using the onoremap or the omap commands.

    Ah, thank you. This helps! I noticed the 'Operator Pending' text instead of the usual 'Insert', 'Normal', or 'Visual' in my statusline, but this explains what it is.
