Additional info: Looking up 'help cw' tells me that the behavior I am seeing should happen if the 'w' flag is set in 'cpoptions'. However, I checked my cpoptions (with 'set cpoptions?') -- and found that it is 'aABceFs' -- i.e. no 'w'. Problem still there.
[Sorry I'm re-posting outside the thread as I don't know how to follow up on the mailing list when I'm not subscribed to it. Would be grateful if anyone can tell me how.] Additional information on the problem below -- I don't have any .vimrc, .gvimrc. .exrc or anything like that in my home directory. -- I've also tried running 'vim -u NONE' -- and I face the same problem. (I've seen a reply from Corinna Vinschen suggesting that there may be an issue with '.vimrc' -- so I cross checked.) -- Avijit On Dec 10 19:17, Avijit Ghosh wrote: > VIM seems to be behaving improperly executing the 'cw' command when the > cursor is positioned on a block of contiguous white-space characters. > > It is changing *only* the character it is positioned on (instead of changing > up to the last white-space in the block). > > Consider the following example text (please read using fixed-width font): > > alpha beta > ^ > Cursor here > > If I type 'cw<ESC>', I get: > > alpha beta > > I expect, based on using Win32 native VIM 7.2, Cygwin VIM 6.x, and other > VIM/vi on Unix platforms -- and also on behavior or 'dw' or just 'w' on > *this* version of VIM: > > alphabeta > > That is, I expect 'cw' to be equivalent in general to 'dwi', and 'cw<ESC>' > to be equivalent to 'dw' --- this is not the case any more, it seems. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
