What did you do?
I pressed L in an editor window.
What did you expect to happen?
The cursor should go to the last visible line of the current file.
What happened instead?
The cursor went to the last visible line of the current file and the the window scrolled down to reveal the next line after that. If you were to keep typing L, you would eventually scroll to the bottom of the file. In Vim this is not the behavior.
Technical details:
- VSCode Version: 1.10.2
- VsCodeVim Version: 0.6.5
- OS: OS X
