Feature Request: skipInsignificantPunctuation only in normal mode? about nvim-spider HOT 4 CLOSED

Generally, it is a rule for all vim motions that they work the same for all three modes, which is also quite essential in creating predictability/consistency. I am not totally sure how desirable it is to introduce a feature that breaks with that rule. 🤔

Well it's completely opt in and the user can easily just think of them as separate motions. That sounds like a good principle for defaults but I think allowing for configurability is a higher principle for plugins. To let users choose what principles they want to use for their personal setup.

This would also allow the user to have separate bindings for different motions provided by the plugin (subword vs word, punctuation or no punctuation)

I agree 100%. It is consistent from an abstract perspective if not functional; when we tap w we want to move to the beginning of the next word without necessarily defining everything in-between there and the current cursor position as "the current word" to do it because when we call something like ciw we want to change to the end of the current word, not the beginning of the next word! The "punctuation" should be treated like whitespace, not a continuation of the word.
It would be very nice to have an API that accepts either option as args so we could do keybindings like

map('n', 'w', spider.word({ 'subWord', 'punctuation' })_
map({'o', 'x'}, 'w', spider.word({ 'subWord' })
