Boon does not work well in visual-line-mode #98

Open

Description

@bernardjoseph

I nowadays use visual-line-mode which has rebindings for kill-line, move-beginning-of-line and move-end-of-line to handle visual lines. The line movement commands in Boon take still physical lines instead of visual lines in visual-line-mode. I think all line related movement commands in Boon, e. g. boon-beginning-of-line etc., should recognize visual-line-mode. Also the selection commands are relevant.

    I work around this issue by redefining the boon-moves-map, like this:

    (define-key boon-moves-map "u" 'move-beginning-of-line)
    (define-key boon-moves-map "p" 'move-end-of-line)
    

    It's far from ideal, though. One issue is that the boon-tutorial does not know about the redefinition.
    Would be better if Boon did correctly deal with situations where visual-line-mode is in effect! 😃
