Everything I can find online indicates that word boundary detection (and line breaking, which requires _syllable_ boundary detection). ICU provides algorithms for this, which use dictionaries for Thai, Khmer, Chinese, and Japanese, though I don't know if this is what is used by the platforms that provide this capability in standard editing controls. Cynically, I suppose that users of these scripts are probably used to minor inconsistencies between different software packages, and that matching platform behavior exactly is less important than having reasonable behavior 99% of the time. http://userguide.icu-project.org/boundaryanalysis One thing I wonder about is, will \< and \> be in scope for such a feature? I don't think they can be on the same column right now. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
