New feature: cursor at the beginning of tab character in normal mode
Hello!
A few days ago I wrote the following to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I'd like to switch to vim but there is an annoying issue with
it that I couldn't solve.
When the cursor is at a tab character most editors display
the cursor at the beginning of the interval the tab character
occupies as follows (_ is the cursor):
_ if (a c) ...
Vim does the same in insert or replace mode. But in normal
mode the cursor is displayed at the end of the tab character:
_if (a c) ...
Is there a way to make vim show the cursor at the beginning
of a tab character in normal mode as it does in insert mode?
I tried searching in Google but found nothing unfortunatelly :(
Then I got a reply that said it's impossible without vim code
modification so I decided to find out how to fix that.
I seem to find the solution (the patch is at the end of this
email) but it is so simple that I can't understand why it hasn't
been done yet (since I know several people that are irritated by
this feature of vim).
I guess this mailing list is the best place to ask whether I
miss anything. Here are my questions:
1. Are there any obvious problems/bugs with the patch itself?
In other words, does it breaks anything very basic so
that it definitely breaks some basic functionality or
some plugins?
2. If there are no problems with it, do you have any wishes to
apply it to the trunk? (And what the reasons for not doing
so?)
If so, I would add an option called, say, cursorattabstart
that will trigger the new behaviour and resend the patch
here for anyone of you to commit.

Re: vim keyboard mode via X server.
how would you type the letters hjkl into text? (almost any program needs to be able to use text, if only as the name of a file for its data). From what I understand, international modes are togled on and off with a keypress. It would work the same way, like vim insert and normal mode. - Ian --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.

RE: New feature: cursor at the beginning of tab character in normal mode
Not to take sides, but just to add my comments... 1) In normal mode, if you have the 'list' option on, the cursor is displayed at the beginning of the tab character, not the end. So now it's not just mode that determines it. If you sit your cursor on a tab character and repeatedly toggle the 'list' option (which I actually have a keymapping for), the cursor will actually jump back and forth on screen from the beginning of the tab to the end. That seems unexpected to me. 2) As a general question: If there's a quirk carried forward from original Vi, and the general consensus among Vim users is that the quirk is only there for strict Vi compatibility and it would make more sense to change it, would it not make sense to have it controlled by the 'compatible' option? Setting 'nocompatible' already breaks some Vi compliance. So, yet-another-option would not necessarily need to be introduced.
