This is not really an issue, more opportunity for user error, but I am so used to using alt and cursor (left/right) to skip between words when editing text that I often do this automatically when editing a new task, resulting in the description/task being lost.

Understand if not resolvable, though not possible to preserve this behaviour, would be great if also didn't drop the new/edited task description.

Okay, I don't use this feature, so I have some questions about how it should work. For each of the following texts, where the cursor position is marked by [], can you tell me where the cursor should end up for both alt-left and alt-right?

  • This is a[] test
  • This is []a test
  • []This is a test
  • This is a test[]

This is the default behaviour on Mac OS:

  Alt+← Alt+→
this is a[] test this is []a test this is a test[]
this is []a test this []is a test this is a[] test
[]this is a test this is a []test\nthis is a test this[] is a test
this is a test[] this is a []test this is a test\nthis[] is a test

Summary Alt+← = b and Alt+→ = e in vi.
