Hi all, It seems that a lot of the time, visual selection for me is visually off by one character. For example, consider the following line, with the cursor at BOL.
(123)
If I issue commands like "vf)", "v%", I end with the closing paren under the cursor, but the visual mark will NOT include the closing paren, and will only include the first 3 characters, "(123". Now, it is important to note that if I then try to yank the selection, the yanked region is exactly what it should be, i.e. it will include the closing paren. As such, this defect for me is purely cosmetic, but a little annoying. Is this a known issue?
No.
Is it possible there is some misconfiguration on my part?
It appears that in my case, the behavior is caused by show-paren-mode. I am guessing that the highlighting of the parentheses takes precedence over the highlighting due to the visual selection, which is a little unfortunate. If anyone is aware of a workaround, or possibly a different paren highlighting mode that doesn't suffer from this problem, please let me know!
