In normal mode, where letters move the cursor instead of typing:\n\n- `h` no longer moves left past the start of a line.\n\n- `l` no longer moves right past the end of a line.\n\nA line here means text ended by a line break, not a line that only looks separate because it wraps on screen. Previously both keys could carry the cursor onto the neighbouring line. Another key now also moves the cursor left.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis matches how Vim itself behaves, so the cursor stays on the line you are editing.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
