Re: Bugs in visual mode marks?

вт, 27 сент. 2022 г., 22:33 Lifepillar <lifepillar@lifepillar.me>:

Source this script:

    vim9script

    def g:Select(): list<string>
      const lnum1 = getpos("'<")[1]
      const lnum2 = getpos("'>")[1]
      return getline(lnum1, lnum2)
    enddef

    vnoremap <leader>x <cmd>echo Select()<cr>

Then select some line(s) and type \x. What I would expect (and what
I think Vim used to do up to recently, unless I am missing something) is
that the *currently* selected lines are echoed. Instead, the
*previously* selected lines are printed. Can you reproduce it? Is it
a bug?

Tested with Vim 9.0.611.

Thanks,
Life.

You're using cmd token that doesn't switch the modes. The effect is that as long as you're in visual mode the < and > marks are not updated. This is the way how it works and always worked.

Call getpos("v") instead, or change cmd to colon. See also :h line()

Kind regards,

Matvey
