Cursor movement and wrapped lines

[NunonuN]

These are related to my previous message "(Neo)Vim and navigation improvements" #513.

• $ and 0 selection/navigation with wrapped lines
  When navigating/selecting to the end of a line using $, if the line is wrapped visually, the selection stops at the end of the current visual line instead of reaching the actual end of the logical line. That behaviour should be mapped to g$, instead (similar to 0 and g0).
• Jumping to lines with wrapped content
  When jumping to a specific line using relative line information, wrapped lines seem to affect the calculation. If there are wrapped lines before the target line, the cursor does not land on the expected line.

Thanks for the previous fixes related to Vim-style navigation (#536).
I tested the latest behaviour, but it seems that the issue with $, g$, 0, g0, A (Shift+a), I (Shift+i), and wrapped lines is still present.

I have attached a few short videos to illustrate the difference:

1. ZenNotes: $ stops at the end of the current visual (wrapped) line instead of the end of the logical line.
2. Vim/Neovim: $ correctly moves to the end of the full logical line, while g$ moves to the end of the current visual line.

This distinction is important because Vim treats these as two different navigation behaviours:

• $ → end of the logical line
• g$ → end of the current display line

Currently, ZenNotes appears not to distinguish behaviours between $ and g$, making it difficult to navigate and edit long lines that wrap across multiple display rows. The same principle applies to other motions where logical lines and display lines should be distinguished.

I also included the line-jumping issue with wrapped content. When jumping to a specific line, wrapped lines seem to be counted as separate lines, causing the cursor to land before the intended logical line. This makes relative line navigation unreliable in documents containing long wrapped paragraphs.

I hope these examples help clarify the expected Vim behaviour and why this is still noticeable after the previous fixes.

I saw this discussion to late. I stumbled over the movement issue and filled in issue #660.
