Select till the closing bracket (vim ]))

[ModProg]

In vim I can press ]) to select until the closing ) ignoring matching () that may come before.

while there is mim it doesn't allow me to only select from my current cursor position till the end of the closing thing.

.function(arg1, arg2, |arg3().hello().what(), arg4(), arg5)

I'm at | and want to delete everything inside the () except arg1, arg2, .

If such a feature already exists and I'm just too dumb to find it, I'm open to tipps :D.

Technicallty in this situation you could use `t5ld`, but it's not quite what you're looking for

It's not counting, t selects til the next occurrence of the character after it

[ModProg]

oh didn't pay full attention, you are correct, but there could be a 5 earlier as well

[icorbrey]

Yep, it's situation dependent. I wonder where this kind of functionality would fit, cc @the-mikedavis? Maybe something along the lines of mt)?

[ModProg]

mt) sounds good, maybe we could also have mt" that jumps over escaped ".

You could do t)v<A-.>, hitting <A-.> (repeat_last_motion) until you are where you want to be :)
