For the record, "$" does take a count, going to the end of the line count-1 lines down. With only the single line, there's no count+1 line to go to, so both (n)vi and vim rightfully errors at you. :help $ With more than one line you can observe the expected behavior. I'd use "$" with a count more often if it did "count" lines rather than "count-1" lines, because "count-1" requires doing the math in my head. Just a little friction. > "2^" (cursor on last column) has the same behavior as "^". > Nvi errors on "2^"; otherwise the behavior is the same as Vim. "^" doesn't take a count, so both (n)vi (at least here on FreeBSD & OpenBSD) and vim ignore attempts to provide a count. I could see it going either way here -- either erroring or just ignoring it. > "2w" (cursor on first column) jumps to the last character on the > line (same behavior as "2e"). There are some small "e" implementation differences between vi and vim as detailed in `:help WORD` (right above `:help object-motions`) but I don't think you're hitting this known case. I was surprised to see that this nuance you encountered wasn't documented (as best I can tell). -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
