So, the question is, how do I get the real last column of the Visual selection?
Actually, this seems be inconsistent mostly when you start a
visual-block selections from different corners.
It works as expected for me. For example,
1. Start :new buffer.
2. From Normal mode, type "iab".
3. Hit <Enter>.
4. Type "cd", and hit <Esc>. Then do "gg0". You should have:
ab
cd
with the Normal cursor on "a".
5. Start visual block with <C-v>, and hit "jl". Press <Esc>.
Now, from Insert mode, if you did
6. <C-o> followed by `>
the Insert cursor will be between "c" and "d". If, instead, you hit
"j2l" in step 5, then (after step 6) the Insert cursor will appear after
"d".
Remember, visual modes are able to highlight _past_ the end-of-line,
unlike the Normal mode cursor.
Please provide an example if you still see a problem.
HTH.
