Nikolai, It is a matter of preference, not a malfeature. It would take months of retraining for me to adapt if the cursor was 'fixed' so that it does not jump back upon leaving insert mode, not to mention the large number of functions and mappings I would need to adapt also. Personally, I like the cursor moving backwards, and it makes things more consistent when you exit insert-mode at the end of a line (where the cursor can only move backwards). However, in the spirit of free software and software freedom, thank you for providing the fix for others who also prefer things your way. Have you added a tip to vim.org? regards, Peter ____________________________________________________ On Yahoo!7 Dating: It's free to join and check out our great singles! http://www.yahoo7.com.au/personals
