Vim: <C-d>, etc. not working at beginning or end of buffer in 1.11.2

[gallois]

After updating to 1.11.2 if I try to C-f, C-b, C-d etc. at the beginning or the end of the buffer, i.e. the first or the last line of the document is visible in the screen, the motions will not work, if I manually scroll the screen so that they aren't visible any more, I can use the commands as expected.

I've downgraded the extension to 1.10.2 and it seems to work fine. I was able to reproduce by updating it again.

Let me know if there is any more information I can provide to help investigate.

That's very strange - this is almost certainly a result of https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/commit/22373943b7984250249ed1715c52d39969fb6920, which fixed the very issue you're describing for me (though there are still a few edge cases in the implementation which I've been meaning on going back to).

Can you please show your settings?

Interestingly enough, <C-e> seems to work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm having the same issue. Near the beginning of a buffer <C-f> does nothing, and near the end of a buffer <C-b> does nothing. Here are my relevant settings:

Same here! I also turned on handlekeys true for <C-d> but it still doesn't work.

Similar issue:

    "vim.leader": "<space>",
    "vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [{
    "before": [ "j", "k" ],
        "after": [ "<Esc>" ]
    }],
    "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [{
        "before": ["leader", "t"],

Hitting C-f always goes to the first char on the line

[J-Fields]

@eastwood this is how vim behaves; it's expected default behavior. If you want the cursor's column to stay consistent, set vim.startofline to false.

[blackrobot]

this is how vim behaves; it's expected default behavior. If you want the cursor's column to stay consistent, set vim.startofline to false.

@J-Fields: I think what @eastwood is saying is that typing <C-f> moves the cursor to the first character, but stays on _the same line_ instead of scrolling down. The expected behavior is that typing <C-f> scrolls the window one page down.

[eastwood]

Thanks for pointing out the ambiguity, given the context of the ticket, I figured it was implied. Yes @blackrobot is right, C-f doesn't enact "page down" anymore, like it should. It always and only goes to the first character of the current line

[J-Fields]

@blackrobot @eastwood Ah I see - yeah, this is definitely a bug 🙂

I'll probably have an opportunity this weekend to take a closer look at this. Apologies again for the breakage.

[J-Fields]

Would someone mind recording a video and showing me? I'm still having trouble reproducing.

[spacepluk]

There you go. Not the best quality but I hope it helps:

[J-Fields]

Hey all - I made some simplifying changes in https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/commit/db9d99cd83aff058d341f6e3a631da58abfe985b, including a fix to an edge case at the top/bottom of the file.

I still can't reproduce the exact issue you're seeing - if someone could install master locally and let me know if this is still a problem, I'd really appreciate it.

Also: if it's still not working, try setting vim.scroll to a value other than 0 and let me know if that changes anything.

[YanikCeulemans]

Hey, I recorded a small screencast of the extension on the master branch showing that the scrolling issue seems to be solved.

However, when you have virtual scroll space enabled and the last line of the file is at the top of your screen, using <C-u> to scroll half a screen up only seems to be scrolling 1 line up as you can see in the video. I don't know if this might be related.

Another issue that I found which can be seen at the end of the video, when scrolling back up to the top of the file using <C-u>, the cursor seems to stop wherever it ended up when the scroll bar reaches the top of the file. If I'm not mistaken, the behaviour used to be that the cursor would continue going up all the way to the first line as long as you kept using <C-u> (which also appears to be the behaviour in Vim).

Thanks! Glad to see it.

Yeah, I'm aware of this and actually don't think it's fixable with the current VSCode API. The reason is that the best info we have on "how big a page is" is using the visible ranges, but this can be only a single line when using virtual space. If you want to use virtual space, I'd recommend setting vim.scroll to a particular value yourself.

Another issue that I found which can be seen at the end of the video, when scrolling back up to the top of the file using , the cursor seems to stop wherever it ended up when the scroll bar reaches the top of the file. If I'm not mistaken, the behaviour used to be that the cursor would continue going up all the way to the first line as long as you kept using (which also appears to be the behaviour in Vim).

I believe this is an issue with smooth scrolling. IIRC, someone tried to fix this a while back but came to the conclusion that there was a race condition so we couldn't, really. I'll take a look though. Nevermind. I don't think we can make this perfect, as the cursor should remain on the same line relative to the viewport even when you hold <C-d>, but we can make this much better.

Edit: this should work well now on master, even with smooth scrolling (unless you hold it or tap it very quickly, but I don't think this is fixable as of now).

[J-Fields]

Closing this issue as it appears fixed

[spacepluk]

This is broken again.

[J-Fields]

@spacepluk Please make sure you're on 1.12.4. What's the behavior you're seeing, exactly?

[spacepluk]

@J-Fields Nevermind, it was just that the behavior is different from vim when there are closed folds and I got confused. Sorry for the noise.

[J-Fields]

@spacepluk No worries. I have folds disabled so I'm not sure exactly what the misbehavior is when there are closed folds. Feel free to submit an issue, but as the VSCode API doesn't provide us information about folds, there is likely nothing we can do at this point.
