command - Why does "d1j" delete two lines in vim? -

the d{motion} command seems work inconsistently:

d1j  " deletes 2 lines bottom d1l  " deletes 1 character right 

is expected behaviour?

when start motion , in operator pending mode, motion either inclusive or exclusive, , either characterwise or linewise (linewise motions inclusive).

j linewise inclusive motion. want try dvj or dgj (the latter 1 works screen lines).

see :help operator. can force motions linewise, characterwise or blockwise v, v or ctrl-v respectively.
