I think that the following paragraph is outdated. I confirmed with vim-5.5.001 and it behaved as explained (I can see only CTRL character behavior). But vim-7.3.003 didn't.
insert.txt: 558 Note that the only times characters beyond the cursor should appear to move 559 are in 'list' mode, and occasionally when 'wrap' is set (and the line changes 560 length to become shorter or wider than the width of the screen), or 561 momentarily when typing over a CTRL character. A CTRL character takes up two 562 screen spaces. When replacing it with two normal characters, the first will 563 be inserted and the second will replace the CTRL character. -- Yukihiro Nakadaira - yukihiro.nakada...@gmail.com -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
