This is kind of a pedantic bug report. Basically it seems that bash's vi-mode doesn't use the same definition of words/Words/... that Vim uses (which is the facto the always installed version of vi), but I write you the same, just in case it's an easy task to do the fix (if you think this is really a bug).
The version number of bash: GNU bash, version 4.4.23(1)-release The hardware and operating system: Arch LInux (constatly update) The compiler used to compile: I didn't compile bash myself A description of the bug behaviour: & A short script or `recipe' which exercises the bug: While vi-editing a line like the following $ ls bulk32³ grids.dat COPYING with the cursor in normal mode at the beginning of the line, hitting e repeatedly, cause the cursor to move in order to s of ls (correct) 2 of bulk32³ (correct, since Vim itself works like this, with an end of word being detected in between 2 and ³) end of line (wrong) Kind regards, Enrico Maria De Angelis
