- normal mode commands, cc, c<motion>, s, S, -, +, J, X
Added some normal mode commands: "cc": change the active line "c<motion>": change the region defined by <motion> "s": subst char, deletes a character like "x" and then goes to insert mode "S": subst line, same as "cc" "-": goto previous line beginning, moves the cursor to previous line at the 1st column "+": goto next line beginning, moves the cursor to the next line at the 1st column "X": deletes previous char (like backspace in insert mode, but it works in normal mode) "J": Joins the active line and the next line, It deserves to be fixed, because the undo is broken (it popups the debugger when the command has no effect (when applied on the last line))
---- Strange Behaviors (with respect to vim) ---- "c<motion>" doesnt behave the same as vim, just try it in gvim and in vial, it's faster than trying to explain it here. In particular, "cj" doesnt open a new line after deleting, and cw eats the backspace that separates words. ---- Broken behavior ---- join-lines-command ("J") breaks the undo. To reproduce this behavior, just go to the last line of a file and press J, and then undo.
Nice! I'll look at it tonight after work and roll it in. I think I'll start a couple of new files: vim-differences.txt - a list of differences to Vim known-bugs.txt - known bugs in Vial
Thanks a lot for the patch!
