Thanks for reporting this bug, Tom! I’ve fixed this (along with others) in the new release. Please see http://www.dready.org for the announcement.

I realized that the problem with ‘x’ occurs when the cursor is between a non-space and space. Apparently, Word automatically re-inserts the space (right after I cut it).

I’ve finally managed to workaround this problem by some roundabout steps (see the code if you’re interested). A new release is on its way.

Preliminary investigation seems to indicate that viWord effectively disables the CAPSLOCK key (Word seemed to be ingoring it and it wouldn’t work until I completely removed the viWord from Templates and Add-ins.

This viWord is awesome !
One reason I wanted it was that there is this little checkmark in Outlook (under File Format) that allows you to “use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages”.
I get occasional 4605 errrors, and may send you a patch someday.
Has anyone attempted to do this for FrameMaker ?

Like everyone else, I’m just using this page as a bug tracker myself.

1. There is a wierd behaviour: when the cursor is between a comma and a space, the x (delete current character) command doesn’t work. I believe it’s got something to do with micros~1’s trying to be smart and re-insert a space thinking that after every comma there should be a space… will look more into it.

2. I would also like to enable the ~ command for toggling the case of characters.

These should be available in the next version.

Thanks for the reminder, Mike!

This raises the question of how to enable that..
Do we use the vim-style “:set ignorecase”, which means we would have to save that somewhere.

I could flip the swtich to make it case sensitive, if that’s what most people want..

Thanks for the viWord updates!

Suggestion for the todo list: case sensitive searching (right now searching is case insensitive).

Thanks!
