I'd like to be able to create the commands
nmap oo o
nmap oi o<Esc>
nmap OO O
nmap OI O<Esc>
but the problem is that o triggers immediately and the second character ends up in Insert mode. nnoremap o <nop> doesn't fix things.
Can I "disable" the o command while still allowing it to be mapped?
Obviously I could just use a leader mapping, but I figure I might as well try and go ham with it.
You can run
nmap o <nop>
nnoremap oo o
nnoremap oi o<Esc>
nnoremap OO O
nnoremap OI O<Esc>
noremap stuff backwards. Although I'm already getting used to <leader>o and <leader>O...

I feel like you mappings are designed to create black lines. This is a common task here are some quick mappings to put in your vimrc file.
nnoremap <silent> [<space> :pu! _<cr>:']+1<cr>
nnoremap <silent> ]<space> :pu _<cr>:'[-1<cr>
If you prefer a plugin then I suggest Tim Pope's unimpaired.vim. Which supplies these mappings, but will also take a count. The plugin also has many other nice mappings.
