Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

Hello, I notice that I'm having an issue with the vim mode, for example, I have this code:

string(character)

I put the cursor in the first letter of character, I press v + e, to select the word, but it selects also the ) character.

Environment

zsh: command not found: copy

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help explain present your vision of the feature

No response

If applicable, attach your ~/Library/Logs/Zed/Zed.log file to this issue.

If you only need the most recent lines, you can run the zed: open log command palette action to see the last 1000.

I just noticed this as well. A couple things to note:

• It's seems to be the 'e' motion, not just the v + e. So 'e' in regular mode starting at the beginning parenthesis or first character at the beginning parenthesis goes to the closing parenthesis.

• This does not seem to be the case for every language for me. I was not able to repro this in JavaScript but I was able to in Python.

• If you press "b" (the opposite motion) it seems to function correctly

Is this still an issue? When I try string(character) with cursor on s and hit v e I get <string>(character), with <> being the selection. Seems to be the same thing as in Vim.

Seems fine for me now as me as well.

Alright, closing for now! We can always reopen :)

Hello, it's not resolved,

For example

const letter = "a"

something(letter)

Place your cursor on the l and then press v e. You'll notice that the ) is also selected.

Ah I see. I suppose I attempted to re-produce your issue incorrectly the first time. I initially added a semi-colon, which does indeed work correctly:

But when I omit the semi-colon after the function invocation:

The issue that you were facing still occurs.

Well observed, thank you for your attention. I'm really looking forward to contributing to Zed through programming.
