Furthermore I can't find any hint in the documentation why 'w' should behave differently in visual mode than the usual cursor motion, which IS to place the cursor at the first character of the next word.
It depends on whether the selection is inclusive or exclusive. Vim actually has an option for this, whose existence I only discovered because the defaults are /sometimes/ different on Windows. To enable an exclusive, Emacs-like selection in Vim: :set selection=exclusive This will not include the character under the cursor in the selection. Conversely, selection=inclusive will include it. I suspect that York's setting is somehow the former. In Vimpulse, the inclusiveness of the Visual selection is hard-coded, so there is no way to change it. In Evil, it can be toggled with: (setq evil-visual-char 'exclusive) Whatever the reasons for Vim's inconsistent behavior on Windows, the default /is/ "inclusive", cf. :help selection. -- Vegard
