How can I have h and l move the viewport only by one column when they go beyond the left and right borders when nowrap is active?
1 Answer
Simply do this:
set sidescroll=1
'sidescroll' controls "the minimal number of columns to scroll horizontally". So with a value of 1 h and l will shift the screen one column at a time.
Side note: the commands zh and zl will shift the screen a column at a time but they don't move the cursor. If, for some reason, you couldn't or didn't want to change 'sidescroll' you could do something like nnoremap zh zh<left> to achieve the same effect.

zlandzhbut it doesn't move the cursor. Does that work for you? Not sure if you can do it with cursor moving. But a mapping to do so should be doable.nnoremap zl zl<right>hto dozhfollowed byh, and similarly forl. I'll try it out while waiting for answers.'sidescroll'
