#5 b B w W movement

[Bee]

Hello Gerhard

bvi 1.4.0 beta
BOTH Mac and Linux

The movement keys b and B move the cursor back, and the cursor stays in either the HEX or the ASCII side when it is used.

The movement keys w and W move the cursor forward, but the cursor is always moved to the ASCII side.

Is this a bug or by design?

I prefer the way b and B leave the cursor in the side it started.

Hi Bill,

seems to be a bug.
Is it useful to search for an ASCII-string and get the cursor in a hex dump area?
In my opinion the cursor should move to the ASCII section.

I can not answer the usefulness question,
but if I am in the HEX area and issue a command,
I would like the cursor to stay in the HEX area,
likewise if I start in ASCII... stay there.

That said, I prefer computers to be consistent.

'e' is another movement that stays in the area where it was started.

'E' does not seem to work, or I misunderstand:
'E end of a blank-delimited word'
