Goto the end of line is not work right under YCM

Time:04-11

I install YCM(You complete me), and when I coding, I found the command $ is not work right. It doesn't jump to the end of line, but the last one . For exampl, a line in a.cpp:

#include| <sys/socket.h>

now the cursor is after the include, then I type $, try jump to the end of line, but I get the following as a result:

#include <sys/socket.h|>

How can I do to make it work right?

CodePudding user response:

That is what $ does, it jumps onto the last character on the line. Then you can either press i to insert text before this last character or a to insert after.

I would recommend to have block cursor enabled in your terminal, it makes a,i more clear. At least for me.

It should not have anything to do with YCM or other plugins.

CodePudding user response:

It looks like your cursor shape is causing some confusion.

In normal mode, the cursor is on a character, not between two characters, which is pretty clear and obvious if your cursor shape is a "block":

block

With a "vertical bar" shape, the bar has to be on one side or the other of the character, usually the left side:

bar

In both cases, the cursor actually ends up on the same character—the >, as expected—but the "bar" cursor shape makes it harder than necessary to reason about the current cursor position.

If that's indeed the cause of the confusion, I would suggest setting your cursor shape to a "block", which makes a lot more sense in Vim.
