If the last character in your buffer is a newline, Helix has an additional line below it marked with a squiggly "~". Let's say you're 8 lines above this line. If you enter select mode and type something like "45j", it wont extend your selection to the end of the buffer. You can only extend to the end of the buffer if you enter the exact line numbers needed to reach it, and nothing beyond that. If the last character in your buffer isn't a newline (and thus no additional line marked with a squiggly in the Helix buffer), you can extend your selection to the end of the buffer even if your "*j" motion is far beyond the line count needed to jump down to it. Is this intended behavior?
I didn't make an issue for this because I'm not sure if this was intended or not. Thank you for your time.
