Re: "yy" doesn't work in motion state

...

I just noticed that "yy" doesn't work in motion state.

That's true. The reason is that "y" is an operator like "d" or "c" and in motion state only motions are active. Of course, "y" is one of the spare non-editing operators and therefore could be enabled in motion state. Perhaps we should do this by default.

Thanks for your reply, if there is no harm having "y" binded in motion state I don't see why we shouldn't do this by default, unless there are other better solutions.

Meanwhile, you may just use

(define-key evil-motion-state-map "y" 'evil-yank)

to get "y" working in motion-state.

Thanks, I'll do this for the memoment before you guys decided the best solution. York
