Re: viw / how to select a one char word ?

Tony, hi

I have 

selection=inclusive.

For me, if there is a sentence -

 a few words

and my cursor is on the 'a' and I am in normal mode and I press 'viw'

I get 'a f' visually highlighted/selected.  

It must be some plugin / mapping then, sorry.  I just tried again with -

vim -u NONE

and now 'viw' will only include the 'a' - although the cursor does not change color indicating the selection.

I am very curious where/how this is altered and will have to dig through my .vimrc and plugins.

thx again for your help,

mark

When I do viw with the cursor on a one-letter word, that one-letter
word becomes visually selected. What is 'selection' set to? (":verbose
set sel?" will tell you the value and — if other than by default or
from the keyboard — where it was set.)

My vimrc includes the following, BTW:
" :behave tonymec
if exists('+selectmode')
  set slm=mouse,key
endif
if exists('+mousemodel')
  set mousemodel=popup
endif
if exists('+keymodel')
  set keymodel=startsel
endif
if exists('+selection')
  set selection=inclusive
endif

Best regards,
Tony.
