i'm saying that: backward yank doesn't include the ] where your cursor currently is
so i always lose that one last character. i already have easymotion plugin, and that's why i just use 'f', even tought i'm familiar with F for backwards, but just want to do less keystrokes, that's whole point right? i understand, that pointer needs to be in that position, in order to be able to insert before and after cursor , with *i* and *a* . but why can't it copy that one front char in front of it if it's last char in a word? what happens when i try to copy is i lose that last char from word. and that alone, is making Vim useless for speedy work (tought, i wouldn't complain about other features, just that, this slows me down very much) On Monday, March 6, 2023 at 5:51:09 PM UTC+1 Salman Halim wrote: > On Mon, Mar 6, 2023 at 11:17 AM Igor Lerinc <[email protected]> wrote: > >> imagine i have line of text: >> echo "Zdravo, " . $_GET["ime"] .
