How to make dot replay embedded normal command? e.g in insert mode: <c-o>ysiw>Some<esc>

Question

For example:

OpRef
  ^- cursor

I press <c-o>ysiw>Option<esc> in insert mode to get:

Option<OpRef>

I want to repeat this command with dot operator, but when I press dot it only replays the last part:

OpRef
  ^- cursor

Press dot:

OpOptionRef

Answer 1

This is using https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround to get that ysiw> behavior.

The . dot command works on individual changes. The ywis> edit is the first edit and then typing Option is the second edit.

I recommend you record a macro with these keystrokes and then replay the macro.
