Incomplete selection at EOL?

[jdanbrown]

On this text:

    id:                 String,
    node:               String,
    lastTried:          sql.Timestamp,
    lastTriedUri:       String,
    lastTriedSeeding:   sql.Timestamp,
    lastTriedDepth:     Int,
    lastFetched:        Option[sql.Timestamp],
    lastFetchedStatus:  Option[Int],
    lastParsed:         Option[sql.Timestamp],
    lastParsedOutLinks: Option[Int]

I do viC from here:

and get this selection:

whereas I was expecting a selection more like this:

To have the behavior you are wanting, the plugin would have to detect that the initial word selection (based on vaW in your example) abutted the end of the line, and then it would automatically switch to the special $ style of blockwise selection.

I'm not sure if there would be any unintended side effects. I'll have to try it out and see.

In the mean time, vic$ will get you the selection you are seeking. (You probably already knew that, but just in case...)

Hmm, yeah, it makes sense that you'd have to handle $ blocks specially. One complication would be something like this:

a b
x y z
0 1 2

—if I'm on b and do vip then I might expect it to only select the center column instead of doing the $ block selection. So you could go further and detect that only parts of the column abut EOL, and then not do the $ selection.

In any case, my vote is that the naive $ selection is less surprising than the current behavior, especially with dic or cic.
