Well, ok, -+ works in any case, so it's actually what I usually need. Still I don't fully understand. The man page says: Some useful idioms: a1+- (a1-+) selects the line containing the end (beginning) of a1. Isn't it that an empty dot has the same beginning and end? Isn't it that my dot (here place 'just before the beginning 'I' of this sentence) is on the same line as the 'I' itself? Moreover, even if the beginning and end wouldn't be identical for my case, I'd still expect that the beginning is before the end... (so that +- would have a better chance to match my line!).
