Tags as match objects. for the HTML and JSX peeps.

[KyleFontenot]

mit would be nice to grab everything inside the HTML tag. Not seeing any conflicts in match mode, but not sure how reliant on treesitter something like this is, though tags in XML, HTML, JSX are specifically with <> surrounds so it seems reasonable without needing a grammar.

You can do this currently with mi< or mi> to select within the angle brackets of <tags>

(though it does select the / in a close </tag> which might not be ideal depending on what you want to select)

Not sure what @KyleFontenot's initial intention was, but I think the common usecase for something like:

<tag>The Contents</tag>

Is being able to select The Contents. In Vim/NeoVim with something like vim-surround, one can do sit (surround inside tag) to select The Contents. In Helix, it'd be something like mit, as @KyleFontenot mentioned above.

A workaround that I've been using is A-i while the cursor is in the tag body, which will select all of the contents.

I have a PR for this #3282 , which uses tree-sitter queries where we use e for for selection instead of t

when your cursor is between tags, the Alt and i keys select the contents of the tags.
