kakoune: Cannot select newline character in normal mode

Hi,

I may be missing something, but it doesn’t seem possible to put the cursor over the line feed in a line using the usual movement keys (l, <a-l>, gl …). This makes it somewhat inconvenient to insert text at the end of the line (one could use a on the last character, but this selects everything being typed), or to just join two lines by removing the line feed. A possible way to select it is to use x; but it is somewhat limited.

Of course, none of this applies if the line is empty as the cursor can only be on the newline character, which seems inconsistent to me.

This is now easy, we dont avoid end of lines on lateral movements anymore (we still try to when going up/down, but you can always go onto the end of line with l).
