Hi, I was trying to change $ command to go to N chars before the end of
line, and found it surprisingly hard to do. Here's what I come up with:
I got it working with:
:nnoremap<silent> $ :<c-u>exec 'norm
'.((virtcol('$')-v:count)<0?0:(virtcol('$')-v:count)).'<bar>'<cr>
Thanks, but that doesn't work right for me without the count (vim 7.3).
I think the function version is preferable for readability, as well. -ak
I'm not sure what you mean about it not working right without the
count. Without the count, it just acts like "$" normally does
(with the small exception that Vim remembers that it's in
column-X instead of at-the-EOL, so subsequent vertical movements
such as j/k stay in the same column instead of jumping raggedly
to the EOL on each line).
