question: how can I reproduce behavior from vim?: ci"

[bkielbasa]

Hello,

I very often use the command ci" when I want to change a text that's inside in "" in the current line. In Vim, there's a simple way to do it. In Helix it seems a bit more complicated. To achieve something similar I have to type f"lmi"c what's much more complicated and error probe.

"foo"
 ↑ cursor

type mi"c

@ymgyt thanks for your response. The problem is that I have to navigate to it, that's why for now I type f"lmi"c (the first part is navigation) and the question is if I can do it without the navigation, like in Vim

Your questions seems to be related to #5903

For

a (b)

f(mi(c

works like in Vim.

It doesn't work with "

func wtf("string")
    ↑ cursor

In vim ci"

func wtf("")

Using the same top cursor position above

f"mi" selects nothing
f"miw selects only ("

Yet, f(mi( works like you would expect.

Behavior seems inconsistent to me especially around core concepts of fFtT
