Introduction to vim text objects

It has been way too long, since I’ve shared a video on vim. Today I want to introduce vim text objects to those of you who might be unfamiliar. Text objects provide an extremely easy way to interact with text using motion commands.

    don’t forget ct”  or dt”  to cut to or delete to a character in my example “, but it could be any character… also % to match the braces…  c%  ca and ci are definitely handy when you’re slapping the text around too :)
