I am using exactly the same .vimrc and .vim/ on Slackware and on multiple
Debian Squeeze 6.0.6’s, and only on the Debians do I see this behaviour.
The “yt” and “vt” commands prompt me for the next character, but when I enter
it, it appears I’m actually entering it in normal mode, not as the prompt input.
For example, sample text:
somemethod(arguments)
I place the cursor somewhere before the first parenthesis and type “yt(”. Vim
then prompts me with “YR:Enter character:”. I enter “(” again, thinking it
somehow missed the first time I pressed it. Vim then thinks this is the actual
‘(’ motion command, and takes me to the beginning of the sentence. The same
happens for “dt(”, but not for the commands, such as “vt(”, including the
capitalised backwards commands, which all behave as expected, and it’s not just
with “(”.
On my Slackware setup, both “yt(” and “dt(” behave as expected. They do change
the statusline to “YR:Enter character:(”, but it’s just informative, not a
prompt.
As well as putting “set all&” atop my .vimrc, I’ve recompiled one of the Debian
vims a few times, with various features enabled and disabled, to see if a feature
is causing it, but I don’t think so, at least, it’s not obvious if one is. My
latest feature set that differs on Debian is:
–mouse-gpm
[no +mouse_urxvt +mouse_sgr]
–osfiletype
