What about eb then? (forward to end of word, then back to begin of
word). Hm, this works when in the space between words, but not when on
the last letter of a word. OK: heb (left one, right to end of word, left
to begin of word). Hm, this one beeps (and does nothing) when on the
first character of a line... with the cursor ending up where it should
unless the line begins with whitespace... then maybe
:silent! normal! heb
?
Best regards,
Tony.
