Word boundaries spanning - by default

[otwieracz]

With Calva plugin enabled, word boundaries are not correctly respected with Vim plugin.
I.e. hitting w on (|foo-bar car) should move cursor before -, that is (foo|-bar car).
With Calva enabled, it jumps to whitespace: (foo-bar| car).

Calva defines Clojure word boundaries. There is probably nothing we can do about this. It's similar with how double-clicking foo in (foo-bar car) will select foo-bar.

This can for now be fixed by adding the - to the editor.wordSeparators setting. As calva defines the editor.wordSeparators for clojure specifically one has to override that setting for that language as following:

"[clojure]": {
   "editor.wordSeparators": "\t ()\"':,;~@#$%^&{}[]`-",
 }

I've tried this now. Indeed, adding - to word separators changes the behaviour of double-click as well. So this is rather a matter of taste than anything else. We should mention this here: https://calva.io/customizing/

Yes, it's unfortunate and I agree both solutions have their own disadvantages. Best thing that can be done here is to document it.

Documentation updated. Thanks for highlighting the issue!
