VIM copy a full word that contains a . (dot)

Question

i noticed that that if a word contains . (dot), then ywi will only copy until the dot. yet I want to the entire word copied

whole.word should copy whole.word, and not just whole

Answer 1

I tried in gVim and looks like either yE or yW will work for you.

Oh, sorry. you want to copy. Maybe using yWi would work?

Did you try dW ? I think that should ignore the punctuation.
