Description
Describe the bug
The "g_" is supposed to move the cursor to the last printable character of the line. However in vscode, when use on a wrapped line, it move the cursor to the character where it is wrapped.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- open a text file with a wrapped line in vscode with vim ext
- press g_
- open a text file with a wrapped line in vim
- press g_
- see the difference
Expected behavior
Same behaviour
Screenshots
Environment (please complete the following information):

Research direction
Start by tracing the VSCodeVim handling for the g_ motion and how wrapped lines are treated. Reproduce the behavior in VS Code and compare it with Vim using the steps in the issue. Done means g_ moves to the last printable character of the logical line rather than the wrap point.
