Esteemed Vim Monks, I often find myself reaching for the following feature but I don't think it's there, so I am bringing it up for consideration.
We can (f)ind a character or move un(t)il a character, but we can't move "after" a character. The feature is analogous to f F t and T, and should be linked to , (repeat find backwards) and ; (repeat find forwards). *Example (cursor indicated with |):* |string-append Say we'd like to change "append" to "concatenate". The options are: w string|-append W string-append| f- string|-append t- strin|g-append But what we really want to do is to move *after* the hyphen, that is: ?? string-|append Of course, in this particular case there are other options that would work -- since there are no 'a's in the first word, we could do fa. But that doesn't solve the general problem, for instance, it might be: |data-append ... and then we're out of luck. Another possibility is Eb for this particular case. But that still falls short of a general solution, for instance this wouldn't work for: |data-append-together Regarding what key to use for this, maybe a modifier key would be reasonable -- e.g. C-f doesn't seem to be bound to anything that I know of. But at least, providing the functionality so that it is integrated with , and ; could mean that users could map it to a convenient keybinding that works for them. WDYT? If you think this is reasonable, I could create a GitHub issue or proceed in the recommended way. Or if it already exists, then please show me the way.
