I would really like it if the VIM cursor in normal mode could act like it does in insert mode: a line between two characters. So for example:
- Typing vd would have no effect because nothing was selected
- p and P would be the same
- i and a would be the same
Has anything like this been done? I haven't been able to find it.
vim
way of handling cursors is better? To really qualify as better it should be better for a beginner who has not learned to be accustomed to one approach or the other, so arguing from users habits is not valid. Also, it should be better in a case where you were designing a new editor from scratch, so the fact that it would changevim
's behavior doesn't carry weight. I can't see how it's better but I'm open to being shown how.
