Re: anyone got a function for backward-to-end-of-word?? ('ge' in vim)

[David Lam]

hey cool thanks, i took ians function and modified it a little ... this seems to work okay i think...  

;; 32 = ASCII <space> 
(defun prev-word-end-three (&optional arg)
 (interactive "p")
 (let ((arg (or arg 1)))
   (cond 
    ((= (preceding-char) 32)  (progn (backward-word (+ arg)) (forward-word))) ;; bw fw
    (t  (progn (backward-word (+ 1 arg)) (forward-word)))                     ;; bw bw fw 
    )                              
 );; let
);;defun

 (global-set-key "\C-x\M-b" 'prev-word-end-three)
 (global-set-key "\M-B" 'prev-word-end-three)

So for example if you had...

     'fooz bar'

...with the cursor anywhere within 'bar', pressing ge in vi immediatley
positions the cursor at the 'z' !!!1

You could create one! Comprised of backward-word, backward-word, forward-word, delete-backward-char ... And bind it to some key.

We have to expect it, otherwise we would be surprised.
