Description

Hi,

I notice a few incoherence, what do you think ?

  • Copy line without selection reset the cursor to the beginning of line.
    Expected: No cursor move.

  • Moving WordRight stop on the space before the word.
    Expected: Go to the first character of the word at right, like WordLeft for the left (Same behavior as vim).

Thanks Yvan

Research direction

Reproduce both behaviors in micro 2.0.8 using the reported Fedora 35 and gnome-terminal environment, starting with copy without a selection and WordRight movement. Confirm that copying without a selection leaves the cursor unchanged and that WordRight lands on the first character of the next word; verify both behaviors after the changes.
