Let's say you've selected a whole line, and your cursor is on the first character of the next line. Pressing h is not going to bring the cursor at the end of the previous line. I want to do this because I am mapping Ctrl+c so that vim behave like any other editor. | |

@LukeSkywalker Plug 'tpope/vim-fugitive' let's say my cursor is on the hyphen of vim-fugitive and then I issue y^. It should yank the text of Plug 'tpope/vim and you can check what is yanked in the default unnamed register by :reg"

@LukeSkywalker But it is working as you want in my vim. Can you confirm that you issue the command y^ when your cursor is on the character you want to exclude from the yanked text?
