Vim: Make f (t,F,T) continue on line breaks

Question

I just found out about f and its siblings (t,F,T) and naturally I am intrigued (they seem slightly more efficient than using / - especially with commands like d). But they do not follow line breaks. For instance:

my text
more text

Let's pretend I was on the y in the first line in normal mode. If I type fr I would expect to go to the r in the second line. But it stops at the end of line.

Is there a way to tell these commands to wrap around?

[Edit: Changing No to Probably but keeping original answer for reference. See below.]

No. See

:help left-right-motions

Edit:

Probably. There is an example of mapping f to a function that performs a case-insenstive find at the end of

:help getchar()

That could be easily modified to perform a search for the given character instead of just a find.

To get this to work as a motion command following d, for example, you would have to define f as an operator-pending mapping. See

:help omap-info

I wrote "probably" rather than "yes" because I don't have any personal experience with operator-pending mappings so I haven't verified that that will work in this case.
