10:57 <taleon> The key combination 'dw' (delete word) does not work as expected in vip. Sometimes the following whitespace, quote and the next open bracket are also deleted, sometimes only half a word or no word at all is deleted. In repl (pil +) 'dw' works without problems.

10:58 <taleon> What could be the reason for this?

10:59 <taleon> But 'db' (delete back) works as it should.

11:16 <abu[7]> Yes, this is correct

11:17 <abu[7]> 'd' combined with a move command deletes inclusive the destination point

11:17 <abu[7]> VI is not consistent here

11:18 <abu[7]> So the behavior is not really planned in Vip, but a consequence of the logic behind this

11:20 <abu[7]> This is in fact mentioned in https://picolisp.com/wiki/?vip

11:21 <abu[7]> "w, however, behaves differently in Vi/Vim"

11:30 <abu[7]> So the recommended command is dTAB instead of dw

11:31 <taleon> Thanks for the explanation and the link. That makes sense. I didn't know d<tab> yet. So now I can use both behaviors.

11:31 <abu[7]> 'de' or 'dE' behave like in Vim

11:31 <abu[7]> ok :)
