Ok, I have a really weird questions this time. I use the selection=exclusive option, because I don't like Vim to select the hidden "newline" character at the end of lines when I'm copying or deleting an entire line. However, this has one side effect that I have not been able to figure out. If I try to select a line of text from the right to the left, it is impossible to select the last character of the line.
Of course, one solution would be to set selection=inclusive, but then the newline character at the end of the line is always selected when selecting text from left to right. I know that sounds pretty trivial, but it's a major nuisance for my editing style. So, my question: is it somehow possible to be able to select the last character of a line when selecting from right-to-left while using selection=exclusive? Alternatively, is there some way to make Vim NOT select the newline character at the end of the line when selecting text from left-to-right while using selection=inclusive? At this point I've tried quite a few options and I'm thinking it's not, but I'd certainly like to hear from the pros if they have any suggestions. Does this even make sense? Given how many times I used the word "select", probably not. :-) Please let me know if this comes across as gibberish and I'll try to better explain myself. Thanks! -- Jared
