Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

• Subword was implemented in vim: Add Subword Textobject #22387 (thanks!)

• Use "w": "vim::NextSubwordStart" in keymap.json

• Inside the below text with <char> indicating the cursor:

"ctrl-w h": ["workspace::ActivatePaneIn<D>irection", "Left"],
"ctrl-w l": ["workspace::ActivatePaneInDirection", "Right"]

• Use vim dw and text becomes:

"ctrl-w h": ["workspace::ActivatePaneIn<">,Left"],
"ctrl-w l": ["workspace::ActivatePaneInDirection", "Right"]

Or when cursor at:

"ctrl-w h": ["workspace::ActivatePaneInDirection", "<L>eft"],
"ctrl-w l": ["workspace::ActivatePaneInDirection", "Right"]

• Use vim dw and text becomes (delete beyond " and two lines joined):

"ctrl-w h": ["workspace::ActivatePaneInDirection", "<">ctrl-w l": ["workspace::ActivatePaneInDirection", "Right"]

In both cases, I expect the delete to stop at "

The meaning of dw is to delete to the next word start, not to delete the word.

dw vim::NextSubwordStart

diw vim::Subword

This is a motions issue.

vim: subword motions #8725

[sasanquaa]

Please correct me if I am wrong, but with the default word motion w: vim::NextWordStart, using dw would stop at " in the above example. So I am having the same expectation for dw with w: vim::NextSubwordStart.

I found the same issue (I think) and didn't research the current list of issues well enough before posting it (linked it as a duplicate now). In case it helps clarify the problem, here's the issue description from my duplicate:

Summary

NextWordStart and NextSubwordStart appear to treat punctuation differently. NextWordStart stops at punctuation, NextSubwordStart ignores punctuation and goes to the next word after a space

Steps to trigger the problem:

1. In a new file, with vim mode active, enter the text "word, next"
2. In normal mode, with your cursor somewhere in "word", visually select or delete with NextWordStart and NextSubwordStart
3. Notice the behavior is different

Actual Behavior:
From this starting point:

delete NextWordStart (does as I expect and deletes up until the comma)

delete NextSubwordStart (deletes past the comma up until the next word separated by whitespace)

Expected Behavior:

They should behave the same in this case (I'd expect the NextWordStart behavior).

My context stack tells me that they're using equivalent commands (the vim operator in the context is incorrect as it changes when I set up the screenshot command; it should be d):

Word:

Subword
