https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D281638 Bug ID: 281638 Summary: vi editor ( command -go to the previous sentence- stops at period + 1 space when shouldn't Product: Base System Version: 14.1-STABLE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: llaquet@protonmail.com Vi documentation says: A sentence is defined to end at a '.', '!' or '?' which is followed by eith= er the end of a line, or by two spaces. The ) command -go to the next sentence- works as expected, but the mirror command ( considers that a period followed by just one space also marks the= end of a sentence, when it should not. Being mirror commands, ( and ) should function in the same manner, so you c= an navigate the document in one direction and the other the same way. In my opinion, if this is going to be looked up and fixed, it'd be better to take the opportunity to widen the definition of a sentence to the more "nor= mal" period + 1 space, so I would let ( as is and change ). But if the objective is to follow the documentation, then I guess that the opposite must be done. Thank you for your time. I'm aware that this is not very important, but I t= hink it's good that at least gest hereby documented. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
