How to apply custom mappings to ds, (ys works)

[idvorkin]

Great plugin! I’m not sure if I’m doing this doing this correctly:

I have markdown mappings for bold and italics as so

autocmd FileType markdown let b:surround_105 = "*\r*" " i = 105
autocmd FileType markdown let b:surround_98 = "**\r**" " b = 98

When I want to italics a line yssi Works. However to remove the italics, dsi does not, but ds* works instead.

Assuming this doesn’t work, is there another approach to this, especially important for mapping to 2 characters as used in b above, otherwise need to do ds* twice!
