Leading underscore as non-whitespace? about vim-wordmotion HOT 4 CLOSED

With the default wordmotion settings, w moves to the first letter and will never stop on the underscore.

The default behavior is:

    ____foo____bar____
w-->w-->w->w-->w->w->w

It does exactly what you expect.
Did you change any settings? Or are you using an outdated version of the plugin?

NOTE: make sure the regex matches a single character. You can use lookaheads and lookbehinds for context-sensitive space characters.
NOTE: the default patterns match 1) hyphens (-) between between alphabetic characters and 2) underscores (_) between alphanumeric characters.

If you set g:wordmotion_spaces at all then it's going to do the dumb matching. The default pattern is quite complex and does only match underscores/hyphens between characters: ['\%([[:lower:][:upper:][:digit:]]_*\)\@<=_\%(_*[[:lower:][:upper:][:digit:]]\)\@=', '\%([[:lower:][:upper:]]-*\)\@<=-\%(-*[[:lower:][:upper:]]\)\@='].

I had an old version, so after updating it works just like you explained. Thanks! Also added a watch on this repository so I won't miss any future updates.
