Well I think it dates back from the original Vi and always has been that way and that is how all vi clones work. Here is a quote from the source: /* * This is a little strange. To match what the real Vi does, * we effectively map 'cw' to 'ce', and 'cW' to 'cE', provided * that we are not on a space or a TAB. This seems impolite * at first, but it's really more what we mean when we say * 'cw'. * Another strangeness: When standing on the end of a word * "ce" will change until the end of the next word, but "cw" * will change only one character! This is done by setting * flag. */ We could probably add a flag to 'cpoptions' to change this behaviour, but we wouldn't change the behaviour by default, since this would be backward incompatible (and in fact I have gotten used to it and like it that way). Then again you could of course map 'w' in operator pending mode like this: onoremap w :norm! w<cr> That should work.
