By default Vim (and vi) has always put the cursor on the end of a
character that occupies multiple spaces on the screen. I don't know
why this decision was taken, unless it was to make it easier to spot
the difference between lines indented with tabs and those indented
with spaces, but the cursor
Otherwise, do a '0' and ride the 'j' key a the way down a
file. If the cursor doesn't budge, how would you be able to
tell if it was a space or multiple spaces there, or a tab
character?
Well, if that information is truely useful and what you want to
know, you can always

Tnx. Kinda figured there was some option to do that, but never bothered
to look up what it might be. Complacency and all...
Good to know, but I still just like the cursor jiggling back'n'forth

easier... :D

In Unix, you can use
gvim --remote-tab-silent filename
But there's no way to do that for just the drag-and-drop operation in gvim?

Dont confuse 'commandline mode' with 'command mode'.
'comand mode' is same as 'normal mode', they are synonyms [1].
'commandline mode' is a mode which you enter
