You Keep Using That Word

========================

A tiny little plugin for Vim

When using word motion with the `c` command, it does not mean what Vim normally

thinks it means. As the documentation says:

> Special case: When the cursor is in a word, `cw` and `cW` do not include the

> white space after a word, they only change up to the end of the word. This is

> because Vim interprets `cw` as change-word, and a word does not include the

> following white space.

But you can already do the same yourself by using `ce` and `cE`, whereas this

supposedly helpful exception leaves you using workarounds such as `cf`

in order to do what you normally would use `cw` or `cW` for.

This plugin removes the special exception from `cw`/`cW`. It does nothing else,

and it has no configuration options.

Thanks to Josh Howe (@joshtch) for pointing out my omission of the WORD motion

in the initial release of this plugin.
