In spacemacs if I have a keyword :foo-bar-baz and my cursor is positioned at "f" of "foo", if I press dw "foo" will get deleted leaving :-bar-baz as the result. How to make nvim behave the same as spacemacs? If I do the same with nvim, the keyword gets deleted.

i think the vim behavior is correct

emacs' evil mode (used in spacemacs) is only an emulation of that

i would do dt- (delete up until -)

Thank you, I've actually never touch vim at all, so this behaviour surprises me.

But how about if I just want to move between word that is separated by -

While I think It's doable with f-, it's much easier with just w

My vim behaves like that I think

Look at :help 'keyword'

It complains Sorry, no help for 'keyword'. Btw I'm using nvim.

After more digging I can set it with set iskeyword -=-. Strangely, it doesn't work when I put it in the config file, I have to do it manually

You probably have something setting it in an ftplugin

So basically an installed plugin is overwriting it?

Thank you, I'll look into it

@funyako.funyao156 re moving between words that contain non-letters, have you tried W?

in vim there is a distinction between a "word" and a "WORD"

"WORD" is a more liberal concept, i.e. W will move you past more characters than w

btw, if you want to rule out foul play from a plugin, you can start vim with vim -u NONE to have it ignore your vimrc

Is there an easy way to get vim to conform to the rules from the Clojure style guide? https://github.com/bbatsov/clojure-style-guide

My guess is that I'm going to have to use vim-clojure-static and configure it by hand.

I think that let g:clojure_align_subforms = 1 on top of vim-clojure-static may be all that’s needed to match, but could be wrong.
