Insert mapping with multiple character output has the output duplicated if the input character exists in the output string #44

As the video shows, in insert mode keymapping where the input character exists in the output string - multicursors duplicate the output string after the input character.

a should become ab but becomes abb q should become qwe but becomes qwewe

This is a problem since I have a keymapping in insert mode which translates "(" into "()\", so none of my auto pairs work with multicursors currently.

The output is strangely multiplied on both ends of the string when the initial letter exists in the middle of the output string 😅

fixed. let me know if any problems. thanks for opening the issue

btw, i'm not sure if a mapping like inoremap ( ()<left> is possible. even without multicursors installed, pressing . after typing hello(foo only repeats the foo.

will have to ponder this

i just tried an autopairs plugin and it successfully sets the . register for us, so it works for multicursor. hooray !!

Amazing work - Thank you! Your reservation about the dot-repeat was absolutely correct. I've solved this on my end by doing this hacky thing I stole from mini.pairs.

local function escape(s)
    return vim.api.nvim_replace_termcodes(s, true, true, true)
end

local left = escape("<C-g>U") .. escape("<left>")

And for the keymap I've set replace_keycodes = false

Both the multicursor and dot-repeat work as expected now 👍🏻
