viper-ESC-moves-cursor-back affected by Vimpulse

[Elena]

Hello,

I'd like the cursor not moving back whenever I hit ESC to enter
command mode in Viper. That should be accomplished by setting viper-
ESC-moves-cursor-back to nil. However, in "emacs -q" such setting
works, whilst in "emacs -q" plus loading Vimpulse it doesn't.

Here is how I load Viper+Vimpulse:

(setq viper-mode t)
(setq viper-ex-style-editing nil)
(require 'viper)
(setq vimpulse-experimental t)
(require 'vimpulse "vimpulse-0.3.0.el")
(setq woman-use-own-frame nil)
(setq woman-use-topic-at-point t)

Software:
- GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1
- Vimpulse 0.30.0
- Ubuntu Linux 9.04

Thanks

Well, it turned out it was the function "viper-exit-insert-state"
defined by Vimpulse. I had to comment out the final section, like
this:

  ;; (if (and (/= (char-before (point)) ?\r)
  ;; 	   (/= (char-before (point)) ?\n))
  ;;     (backward-char 1))  ; <---------- a[ESC] leaves the cursor
					; where it was before in VIM, without
					; backward-char it advances 1 character.

Furthermore, I had to put:

(setq viper-ESC-moves-cursor-back nil)

before:

(require 'viper)			   ; load Viper

because nil-ing it by Customize didn't last, even when saved for
future sessions.

Cheers.

That sounds like a possible bug in Viper. Can you try to nail it down?
