I recently noticed that on some help files it is not possible to move the cursor to the very first column of some lines. To explain it clearly, here is a screenshot where I have done the following:
vim -u NONE
:h help
- 3j
- 0
As you can see my cursor is not on the first column of the line. And I have no means to put my cursor on it (even using h or any other command).
(Note that I also used :set ft=txt
to check if the help syntax wasn't hiding something)
It happens in a lot of different help files but I don't think it happens on all the indented lines, thus I'm wondering what is causing this behavior.
Edit I should have specified this before but I asked the question because this behavior only happens on the help buffers but not on any other buffer, e.g., vim -u NONE ~/.vimrc
, I'm able to go to the beginning of the lines:
virtualedit
. Try it afterset virtualedit=all
.list
option...
