In a typical coding setup, there is not much of a distinction between the two (except you can remove '_' for help with unix style convention). The definition of "word" can be changed by modifying "iskeyword" option; however, its quite limiting, you can only pick what characters can be part of a "word". What I'm proposing is that we add more definition to "word" that it can be naturally extended to camelcase through the use of multiple character sets. Moving from one character set to another is equivalent to moving between "words". The mappings remain the same, "w", "b", "e", "ge". And, implicitly, all other movement mappings move through "camelcase" words. What should be built-in or extended through vimL is definitely a philosophical question. IMHO, I feel something like camelcase as a standard toggle-able feature would be nice. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
