Still cannot make up a good note-taking habit especially that I archive more than taking notes. Though, this same cannot be said for my course notes so that's a plus.

(Neo)Vim has a bunch of text objects that are beyond simple boundaries other than a word (=aw=, =aW=).
|
|
You can find more of them with =text-objects= section from [[id:0a0fe63e-dcf3-4928-9e82-5513784c1244][Neovim help system]].
|
|
|
|
| Text object | Description |
|
|
|-------------+-------------------------------------|
|
|
| =ap= | A paragraph, equivalent to =}=. |
|
|
| =as= | A sentence, equivalent to =)=. |
|
|
| =ab= | A '( )' block. |
|
|
| =aB= | A '{ }' block. |
|
|
| =a"= | Content inside double-quotes (="=). |
|
|
|
|
There is also a variation for selecting only the inner content of the previous text objects (e.g., =ip= for the inner paragraph, =is= for inner sentence) with the whitespace removed.
|
|
|
|
Note that selecting with text objects is different from selecting with [[roam:Neovim motions]] where it refers to the current position up to the end of the next selection.
|
|
Meanwhile, text objects selection will select to the referred object as a whole no matter where the cursor position.
|
|
For example, selecting with the paragraph (i.e., =vap=) will select the whole paragraph where the cursor rests.
|
|
|
|
Aside from the built-in text objects, you can create your own.
|
|
Which also means others have created some custom text objects.
|
|
|
|
- [[https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjects][nvim-treesitter-textobjects]] add text objects support for selecting (and swapping, moving, and peeking) tree-sitter nodes.
|
|
(Assuming you have tree-sitter support enabled for Neovim.)
