ci' and ci" work great ci{ ci( and ci[ don't work at all if cursor is outside brackets

:ok_hand: Works:

<cursor>myFunction("parameter")    # normal mode
ci"
myFunction("<cursor>")    # insert mode

myFunction("par<cursor>ameter")    # normal mode
ci(
myFunction(<cursor>)    # insert mode

<cursor>myFunction("parameter")    # normal mode
f(ci)
myFunction(<cursor>)    # insert mode

:sob: Doesn't work:

<cursor>myFunction("parameter")    # normal mode
ci(
# expected: myFunction(<cursor>)    # insert mode
# actual: <cursor>myFunction("parameter")    # insert mode

According to the Keybinding-Resolver it is hitting "inner-parenthesis" but it is not changing the content. Screenshot attached.

I've also tried rm -rf ~/.atom and installing just vim-mode-plus and I get the same issue.

:pray: Why it's important to me

I work with Ruby a lot and this issue totally kills my VIM workflow.

I tried this workaround:

'atom-text-editor.vim-mode-plus.normal-mode':

  'c i (': 'keystroke f ) c i )'
  'c i <': 'keystroke f > c i >'
  'c i {': 'keystroke f } c i }'

It fires the keystrokes but the cursor still doesn't change position. However pressing eg f)ci) works fine.

You cannot find forwading inner-pair, it only can find enclosed pair. So what you are trying is non-supported in pure-Vim and vmp's normal i).

But vmp have enhanced command named inner-pair-allow-forwarding.

Find example keymap from my dotfiles. https://github.com/t9md/dotfiles

@t9md you're right, I just tried it in vanilla Vim and it doesn't work. Thank you very much, I will look into inner-pair-allow-forwarding. And cheers for the awesome Atom plugin.
