Meow equivalent to Vim's dw

[asymmetric]

In the tutorial, there is this:

---> This sentence pencil has vacuum extra words in it.
       This sentence has vacuum words in it.

If I follow the tutorial and:

1. place the cursor at the beginning of pencil (on the p)
2. type es

What I get is something like: This sentence has vacuum extra words in it. -- note the double space between "sentence" and "has".

In other words:

1. es acts like Vim's diw
2. the tutorial is not mentioning that to get the first line to look like the second, one also needs to use d to delete individual characters

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a problem in the tutorial?

Moreover, is there an idiomatic way to also delete the space after a word? This seems like the most common behavior, at least for me.
Is this related to #87, i.e. the cursor always being between two characters?

It looks like the e has selected the space after the word, and I would expect s to delete it, but actually the cursor is between the "l" and the space?

You're right, the tutorial is definitely missing something there.

I'm not 100% sure what the tutorial is intending to make you do there, but I suspect it's the way I do it: put your cursor in-between the the works "sentence" and "pencil", then call "e" which selects the first space and the next word, and then delete. A block cursor makes what's going on slightly unclear.

I don't think there's an idiomatic way to automatically delete the space - which space would we delete?

I don't think there's an idiomatic way to automatically delete the space - which space would we delete?

@eshrh in vim, w moves by a word, which

consists of a sequence of letters, digits and underscores, or a sequence of other non-blank characters, separated with white space (spaces, tabs, <EOL>).

So the idea here would be to delete the space(s) after the characters. This seems to me to be the most intuitive behaviour.

Use bounds-of-thing e(symbol) to select the symbol and one space.
