Shift-Y Does Not Yank Full Line about vim

[ibdknox]

shift-y is not a synonym, it's something explicitly different: "copy to the end of the line".

You can map shift-y for yourself using the Vim: map vim keys behavior, if you want though :)

Really? Because copying the line is the specified behavior in the docs:

https://github.com/michalliu/gvimim/blob/master/vim73/doc/change.txt#L905

                                                    *Y*

["x]Y yank [count] lines [into register x](synonym for
yy, |linewise|). If you like "Y" to work from the
cursor to the end of line (which is more logical,
but not Vi-compatible) use ":map Y y$".

I suppose it isn't very logical, and it's obscure enough it probably doesn't matter...

@xcthulhu We are dependent on CodeMirror for their vim implementation. You can confirm with their demo, it's intentional behavior. Please open an issue with them.

By the way, this issue was discussed in codemirror/codemirror5/issues/2643. CodeMirror intentionally breaks blind compatibility with vi/vim, because this way Y, C and D all work from cursor to the end of the line. Even vim doc says it's more logical :)

I'm on Light Table 0.8.0-alpha Linux with the plugin Vim 0.2.0 by kodowa, but I can't see a Vim: map vim keys behaviour when I search in the commands panel (ctrl-space). Is there another way to map Y to yy from within Light Table?

@mbylstra You should see the Vim: map vim keys behavior when you open a .behaviors file in LT. Try opening your user.behaviors file and see if you can add the mapping. Also check out the behaviors file for this plugin.

great, thanks for you help!
