Tony, hi I have
selection=inclusive. For me, if there is a sentence - a few words and my cursor is on the 'a' and I am in normal mode and I press 'viw' I get 'a f' visually highlighted/selected. It must be some plugin / mapping then, sorry. I just tried again with - vim -u NONE and now 'viw' will only include the 'a' - although the cursor does not change color indicating the selection. I am very curious where/how this is altered and will have to dig through my .vimrc and plugins. thx again for your help, mark On Monday, February 3, 2020 at 6:33:16 AM UTC-5, Tony Mechelynck wrote: > > On Mon, Feb 3, 2020 at 12:17 PM M Kelly <[email protected] <javascript:>> > wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > Is there a way to select a one char word ? > > lbve or viw or ?
