There was a problem hiding this comment.
to fix the issue with "next paragraph", you'd have to find the condition for which to set skipCharacter in the where === "end" branch too. i haven't been able to figure out the right condition.

Fixes moving to the previous paragraph with selectionBehavior character, as described in #408.
Too see what this does, create a text file with a few parargaphs like
and use goto previous paragraph.

After:
This partially resolves #408. There's a similar issue when moving to the next paragraph, although it's far less severe in that case, as it only results in selecting extra whitespace. (Honestly, the precise behavior for moving paragraphs in helix is pretty difficult to understand.)
