Typical mark placement using m places the mark at the cursor. When the cursor is on the last character of a line, this means that jumping to that mark for the purpose of copying text starts the copying before the last character of the line.
For instance, if I have the sentence Vim is a great editor. and place a mark with my cursor on the . using ma, then move up some number of lines and hit y`a, I yank those lines plus Vim is a great editor but not the entire sentence.
Is there a way to place a mark after the period so that I can yank the entire line in situations like this?
I realize that if I never add more characters to that particular line, I can use y'a, but sometimes I want to maintain the flexibility to add more characters later.
If this is not possible, are there other features of Vim I can use to accomplish the same thing? For instance, is there some "yank until after cursor" command?
