Recent emacs converter coming from nvim.
One type of operation I'm finding hard time to replicate is the custom operator-pending mappings. In lisp like files, I use operators from [vim-sexp](https://github.com/guns/vim-sexp) a lot.
e.g. similarly to `caw` (change a word), the plugin adds `daf` (delete a form), `cae` (change an element), etc.
How can I replicate them? I'm having a hard time to find related docs, it seems that "operator" has other meanings in emacs.

I use evil-cleverparens for that

Am I misunderstanding or are you actually asking about making more text objects?
Lispyville is good.

I'll check that out. Thanks!

Ah that's what it means then. I've been intentionally ignoring those parts of docs \*facepalm\*.
If anyone is interested, this is how evil implements it: [https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil/blob/a13a05f263dd54632d4509e7cfb2bb5df556d442/evil-maps.el#L344](https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil/blob/a13a05f263dd54632d4509e7cfb2bb5df556d442/evil-maps.el#L344)
Thanks! :)

do you mean text objects or operator?
Text objects means a range of a text that can be operated. For example, caw, where c is the operator, and aw is the text object.

Yes, text objects! reusing vim's vocabulary isn't helping. Thanks for help!
