Neovim Word Motions

We previously learned about text objects, and more specifically about Vim's definitions for words and words. In this section we will learn another way to move horizontally within a buffer, using motions than move the cursor across one or more words.

Let's first look at how w behaves with the first line of text:

Now, let's look at how W behaves with the same text:

w and W behave almost the same for this text. The only difference is the way the trailing period is handled. w stops at the period in step 7, while W steps over the period and proceeds to the next line.

Now, lets look at w with the second line of text:

And again, with W

The differences between how w and W behave are highlighted in this text.
