meow-back-symbol should not unconditionally reverse direction

[politza]

Hey, great package !

In https://github.com/meow-edit/meow/blob/3247b9d4f2b46bcf8d216857a59d67dd416dcdb9/meow-command.el#L894 the direction is set to backward unconditionally.

This line is missing in the very similar implementation of meow-back-word: https://github.com/meow-edit/meow/blob/3247b9d4f2b46bcf8d216857a59d67dd416dcdb9/meow-command.el#L873 .

As a result those motions are inconsistent. Moving backwards with meow-back-symbol moves to far, i.e. at the end of a selected symbol, it moves to the beginning of the previous one.

That's expected behavior, it depends on current selection type. When you have an expanding word selection, the word commands simply expand the selection.

I don't see why a consistent behavior between meow-back-word and meow-back-symbol isn't desired. When I encountered this I assumed it was a bug.

@Haxxflaxx They should be consistent, what you encountered?

The easiest way of seeing it is by navigating from the middle of a word. Lets illustrate this with '|' as point and '<' as mark. Looking at "first sec|ond third". Calling meow-next-word and meow-next-symbol has the same result: "first sec<ond| third".

Then calling meow-back-word will result in: "first |second< third".

But calling meow-back-symbol will result in: "first |sec<ond third".

You can also see the strange behavior which I think @politza is referring to if you start at the beginning of a word: "first |second third" after meow-next-symbol: "first <second| third", after meow-back-symbol: "|first <second third"

Sorry for I didn't understand the issue in the first place.

@politza @Haxxflaxx Thanks for the report and explanation!

Fixed dabfaaa
