OK a lot of things are missing. What repl are you using? Are you using PowerShell? Are you using WSL?

You can't expect us to help you with almost no useful information.

i use vim-repl vim-repl, Nvim-R , both of them in windows terminal will send one more character in WSL vim environment. but when i use vim-repl or Nvim-R in xshell or linux system's terminal ,they are working fine and won't send one more character.
so , i think it's windows terminal's problem and need to be solved.

Can you attach a screenshot of something to illustrate this issue? Also, what is the terminal version you are using? And the Windows version?

Yeah there's probably a lot of hidden problems in Windows Terminal and we all want to solve them. We'd love to hear feedbacks from the community. Just we need like a lot of information to determine what exactly the problem is and possibly find a way to fix it. So please be sure to provide as much as information as you can when you submit issues on Github.

it will always send one more character and will report error unless there is a space after it in windows terminal,

Can you send a screenshot from xshell?

This is a common problem people have with vim.

The character under the cursor is part of the visual selection. This is true on every terminal emulator.

Here is putty.

yeah, the method is just like what you said, in windows terminal, if you select 'a', it will send 'a=' because it will send one more character in windows terminal, but in xshell, it will only send 'a', so, it can work well in Xshell.
so ,the windows terminal have this problem in vim-repl.

How about just do not press l? This way it only sends "a", right?

Seems to me entering visual mode will automatically select "a".

i just never press 'l' to select the right side character '=', i only select the 'a' character in the vim visual mode ,but it will send 'a=' in windows terminal,
for example, there is a 'year=5' code, ,in windows terminal, if you select "yea", it will send "year", if you select "year", it will send "year=", so , it will always send one more character in windows terminal automatically.

OK, now I see. Listen to me very carefully:

if you just press v, it will send a

when you press v, it already selected a! That's why it sends a.

if you also select a , it will send a=

How do select a? Are you pressing l ? If you press l, it selects a=, that's why it sends a=. I know it looks like you're selecting only a. That's the point in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/9530#issuecomment-801621599 . It's not exactly the same as what you see.

i think you do not know it , a is too short, many times ,the variable is a long word ,you want to select the whole word to run it , ,year=5， if i select year and the cursor is year, it will send year= in windows terminal. if i can't select the whole word , i will feel very terrible every times

if i select year and the cursor is year, it will just send year in xshell, it works very well in xshell.

it is so terrible that if i want to send year, i only can select yea in windows terminal, rather than i can select the whole word year in xshell or linux terminal.

if you use the windows system ,i hope you can use xshell to run it , it works very well . in windows terminal ,it was really terrible and unfriendly, that you only can select yea, you can't select year

Yeah I know XShell. We all know what it is. First, XShell is a commercial software that we can not just grab and use.

@ZihaoXingUP commented on GitHub (Mar 19, 2021): > Yeah I know XShell. We all know what it is. First, XShell is a commercial software that we can not just grab and use. Do understand the strict copyright restrictions in Microsoft about what we can use. Second, this isn't about how XShell behaves, this repo is about Windows Terminal. And we all want it to be better. ### in windows terminal #### select `yea` in the widnows terminal ,if i select `yea`, it will send `year` ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/68001792/111747369-36420600-88ca-11eb-8eae-7eb03973104f.png) #### select `year` if i select `year`, it will send `year=` in windows terminal ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/68001792/111747641-85883680-88ca-11eb-8105-88ee2ee61bfc.png) ### In Xshell #### slelect `yea` if i select `yea`, it will send `yea` ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/68001792/111748548-a43afd00-88cb-11eb-851d-fb07cc6ed816.png) #### select `year` if i select `year` , it will send `year` ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/68001792/111748992-25928f80-88cc-11eb-99ab-3d65f8a9a291.png)

OK. I completely understand what you mean. I can think of two options.

  1. Put these in your .vimrc:
let &t_SI = "\<Esc>[6 q"
let &t_SR = "\<Esc>[4 q"
let &t_EI = "\<Esc>[2 q"

See https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/4335#issuecomment-577365966 for details.

  1. Put this in your terminal settings.json:
"cursorShape": "bar",

See here for details about the cursorShape option.
