Thank you for the suggestion. Could you elaborate on what you wanted me
to find there? AFAICT I tried everything relevant mentioned there and
described that I did in my original post. Did I miss anything?

AFAIU gvim behaves a lot different than plain vim in a terminal!
And I think I described pretty well what happens when I press what in
my original post.

Thank you for answering, but I’m not sure how your post was supposed to
help me. Could you please elaborate?

Thanks and best regards
