Custom keymap for specific command

[jesus-333]

Premising that I am not a lua expert or a Vim expert... I start some months ago to use neovim and I loved it. Now I'm trying to create my costum keymaps for all the plugin that I have installed.

I tried to remap some of the commands that I use more often to simple combination of key.
For example I tried:

keymap("n", "((", "ysiwb", opts)

to add the round brackets around a word but it doesn't work. I'd like to add similar commands also for other symbols (e.g. "" to surround something with " or )) to remove the round brackets

Assuming you are using vim.keymap.set, the remap flag is set to false by default, so Neovim is interpreting ysiwb in terms of built-in commands, having no knowledge of nvim-surround bindings. You want to set remap to true, i.e.

vim.keymap.set("n", "((", "ysiwb", { remap = true })

See :h vim.keymap.set and :h remap for more details.

It works perfectly!

Very nice! I think this deserves to go into the readme?
