Is there a way to configure the evil mode so that e moves to the end of the current symbol, not just to the character before the next hyphen?

In other words, if the | character is the cursor, I want e to move the cursor from the middle of the xxxxx part of the word to the last z in

(xx|xxx-yyy-zzzz)

(`E` isn’t what I want, because it goes all the way to the closing paren character.)

Just did a little digging around and maybe sp-forward-symbol (M-F) from smartparens might be what you’re looking for. You could remap e to that.

thanks akiva … I meant to update this channel with the solution I’m using now:

add this anywhere in .spacemacs and restart emacs:

(add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook #'(lambda () (modify-syntax-entry ?- "w")))

It changes clojure-mode so that hyphens are treated as part of a word

Ah, excellent solution.
