AFAIK, <Esc> in Insert mode always moves the cursor left by one
column, unless you're already at the left margin. However:
1. If 'virtualedit' is set to "onemore" you can move the cursor to one
column past the last character without leaving Normal mode;
2. Or, regardless of how 'virtualedit' is set, if you're on the last
character of the line in Normal mode, vlol will put you in Visual
mode, with only the end-of-line (which is "one past" the last
character on the line) selected, as follows:
v go to characterwise visual
l move right by one column
o move cursor to the other end of the visual area
l move right by one column
Best regards,
Tony.
