Re: Getting the current character position of the cursor

Hi,

The getcurpos() and col() functions return the byte position of the cursor.

Is there a function that returns the character position of the cursor in

the current line?

The byteidx() function returns the byte index given the character index

in a string. I am looking for the opposite.

Neovim has the vim.str_utfindex() function that returns the character

index of a given byte index in a string:

https://neovim.io/doc/user/lua.html#vim.str_utfindex()

I am looking for a similar function to use in Vim.
