Hi, Yes, thanks. I was looking for a consistent way to select the whole word the cursor is on, no matter how many chars it is. This could then become a new mapping or mouse double-click etc.
It seems viw, vaw, lbve are all good and work most of the time, but I cannot seem to find one set of cmds that always works. It is also weird the difference between my vim and with -u NONE about the viw. thx, -m On Monday, February 3, 2020 at 6:55:32 AM UTC-5, Boyko Bantchev wrote: > > On Mon, 3 Feb 2020 at 13:16, M Kelly <mckel...@gmail.com <javascript:>> > wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > Is there a way to select a one char word ? > > lbve or viw or ?
