• How can I make vmp behave as close to pure-vim's default as possible?
• Config: vmp: stayOnTransformString, stayOnYank, stayOnDelete
• Config: vim: startofline, vmp: stayOnVerticalMotion( meaning inverted )
• g ctrl-a, g ctrl-x in visual-mode (v_g_CTRL-A)

Paste following setting to your config.cson.
See flight-manual for how to open your config.cson.

  "vim-mode-plus":
    useClipboardAsDefaultRegister: false
    updateRegisterOnChangeOrSubstitute: true
    clearMultipleCursorsOnEscapeInsertMode: true
    stayOnTransformString: false
    stayOnDelete: false
    stayOnYank: false
    stayOnSelectTextObject: false
    stayOnVerticalMotion: false
    incrementalSearch: false
    highlightSearch: false

Optionally, you can install a package no-evil-eol-newline so that the last empty line is hidden, just like in pure vim.

These configurations are unique feature of vim-mode-plus and enabled by default.

• vmp: Try to keep original cursor position as much as posible after operation(select, move, operate).
• vim: Move to start position of target after operation(e.g. Cursor moved to start of paragraph after y i p)

If you don't like this incompatible behavior, set all false.

• In vim startofline is true by default.
  • When true, move cursor to start of first character for specific commands.
  • When false, try to keep same column for specific commands.

The affected commands

• vim: startofline affects following commands
  • ctrl-d, ctrl-u, ctrl-b, ctrl-f, G, H, M, L, gg, d, <<, >>
• vmp: stayOnVerticalMotion affect motion command only.
  • Meaning inverted: !startofline === stayOnVerticalMotion stayOnVerticalMotion`
  • ctrl-d, ctrl-u, ctrl-b, ctrl-f, G, H, M, L, gg
  • So how to set for d, <<, >>?
    • For d: stayOnDelete config is available, setting false is equal to startofline=true.
    • For <<, >>: stayOnTransformString config is available, setting false is equal to startofline=true.

This command increment number within the selected text with count(default 1) step.

• vmp: do not increment first number.
• vim: increment first number.

So in the following text

1 1 1 1

• vmp: V g ctrl-a make text to 1 2 3 4
• vim: V g ctrl-a make text to 2 3 4 5

This difference is intentional breaking change.
