using visual mode with movement of word selects to much #33

I have been trying to use your plugin with textadept and see what keymappings work and what is missing. I have a couple following: As title says using the keys: vw
selecting the word in visual mode it actually goes past the space and selects the first letter of the next word. If the following command is a x or d it gets rid of the extra two characters

Another keymapping I use a lot is to change('c') from the cursor, to/find (t/f) a specific character. so in the line: function footer-club(blah)
if I put the cursor on the 'f' in footer and type 'ct(' I would want to change all the characters in 'footer-club' with whatever I type.

I don't normally use visual mode but that may an alternate method, but it changes all the characters with the first letter typed.

Hi,

Thanks for the interest!

I've just tried out vw, with Textadept 11 alpha and compared it with vim - they seem to behave the same - the first character of the next word is included in the selection. With ve it's only up to the end of the current word. I checked with the words "hello world". One thing I haven't implemented is setting the word characters, could that be affecting what you're expecting?

ct does work with letters but apparently not with ( - in your example ctb works but not ct(. I've found the problem (it only worked with ASCII letters) and pushed a fix - please let me know if it works for you!

Yes the ‘ct(‘ works with you fix. And it was pilot error on the ‘ way, sorry for the inconvenience. I will continue to use it and see what else I use that isn’t there and can’t live without.

Thanks again for the quick response!
