What did you do?

Go to the end of a line and press the right arrow key (or l) in normal mode.

What did you expect to happen?

By default I don't expect the line wrapping to work but a config option to enable whichwrap style behavior would be great.

What happened instead?

Automatically move up or down a line with arrow keys in normal mode, if configured.

Technical details:

• VSCode Version: 1.8
• VsCodeVim Version: latest
• OS: Win 10

@xconverge Really sorry I missed your comment, yes that is exactly what I'm looking for.

This issue was created when https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues/839 was implemented.

This is a feature I miss from Vim and I personally find it really useful. Just stopping at the end of a line when using cursors just feels so alien.

I would like to tackle this an provide a pull request, if somebody could point me into the right direction. The original patchset is not linked in #839.

The workaround that I am using is to disable Vim extension’s handling of Left and Right keys when inside Insert Mode:

{ "key": "left",                  "command": "cursorLeft",
                                     "when": "textInputFocus" },
{ "key": "right",                 "command": "cursorRight",
                                     "when": "textInputFocus" },
{ "key": "left",                  "command": "extension.vim_left",
                                     "when": "editorTextFocus && vim.active && !inDebugRepl && vim.mode != 'Insert'" },
{ "key": "right",                 "command": "extension.vim_right",
                                     "when": "editorTextFocus && vim.active && !inDebugRepl && vim.mode != 'Insert'" },
