Word navigation when underscores are in the word
Phil Capel posted a til recently that talked about using the _
character as a word boundary by removing it from the iskeyword
list with:
:se iskeyword-=_
So now w
navigates to the next underscore in long_id_for_var
and you can copy long
with yiw
when your cursor is on long
.
My addendum to this is that navigating with W
will still go to the next space separated word, B
will go the beginning of the previous space separated word, and if your cursor is on long
, yiW
will copy long_if_for_var
.
