a_z_text_objects

WORD := a sequence of non-blank characters, seperated with whitespace. An empty line is considered a WORD.

aw, iw are trivial
aW, iW are a Word and inner Word
as, is :~ a sentence, inner sentence respectively
ap, ip :~ a paragraph text-object (a paragraph, inner paragraph)
a] := a[ :~ a [] block
i] := i[ :~ inner [] block
a( := a)
1. := i(
< and > text objects :~ for code in <>
t :~ a text object for a tag block (a html tag)
} := B :~ a text object for code in {}
“, ’, ` :~ text object for quoted strings

                      *v_aw* *aw*
```
aw “a word”, select [count] words (see |word|). Leading or trailing white space is included, but not counted. When used in Visual linewise mode “aw” switches to Visual characterwise mode.
```
                      *v_iw* *iw*
```
iw “inner word”, select [count] words (see |word|). White space between words is counted too. When used in Visual linewise mode “iw” switches to Visual characterwise mode.
```
                      *v_aW* *aW*
```
aW “a WORD”, select [count] WORDs (see |WORD|). Leading or trailing white space is included, but not counted. When used in Visual linewise mode “aW” switches to Visual characterwise mode.
```
                                                                           *v_iW* *iW*
```
iW “inner WORD”, select [count] WORDs (see |WORD|). White space between words is counted too. When used in Visual linewise mode “iW” switches to Visual characterwise mode.
```
                      *v_as* *as*
```
as “a sentence”, select [count] sentences (see |sentence|). When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise.
```
                      *v_is* *is*
```
is “inner sentence”, select [count] sentences (see |sentence|). When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise.
```
                      *v_ap* *ap*
```
ap “a paragraph”, select [count] paragraphs (see |paragraph|). Exception: a blank line (only containing white space) is also a paragraph boundary. When used in Visual mode it is made linewise.
```
                      *v_ip* *ip*
```
ip “inner paragraph”, select [count] paragraphs (see |paragraph|). Exception: a blank line (only containing white space) is also a paragraph boundary. When used in Visual mode it is made linewise.

a] v_a] v_a[* *a] a[ a[ “a [] block”, select [count] ‘[’ ’]’ blocks. This goes backwards to the [count] unclosed ‘[’, and finds the matching ’]’. The enclosed text is selected, including the ‘[’ and ’]’. The |cpo-M| option flag is used to handle escaped brackets. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise.

i] v_i] v_i[* *i] i[ i[ “inner [] block”, select [count] ‘[’ ’]’ blocks. This goes backwards to the [count] unclosed ‘[’, and finds the matching ’]’. The enclosed text is selected, excluding the ‘[’ and ’]’. It’s an error to select an empty inner block like “[]”. The |cpo-M| option flag is used to handle escaped brackets. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise.

```
                     *v_a)* *a)* *a(*
```
a( vab v_ab v_a( ab ab “a block”, select [count] blocks, from “[count] [(” to the matching ‘)’, including the ‘(’ and ‘)’ (see |[(|). Does not include white space outside of the parenthesis. The |cpo-M| option flag is used to handle escaped parenthesis. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise.
```
                     *v_i)* *i)* *i(*
```
i( vib v_ib v_i( ib ib “inner block”, select [count] blocks, from “[count] [(” to the matching ‘)’, excluding the ‘(’ and ‘)’ (see |[(|). If the cursor is not inside a () block, then find the next “(”. It’s an error to select an empty inner block like “()”. The |cpo-M| option flag is used to handle escaped parenthesis. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise.

a> v_a> v_a< a> a< a< “a <> block”, select [count] <> blocks, from the [count]‘th unmatched’<’ backwards to the matching ‘>’, including the ‘<’ and ‘>’. The |cpo-M| option flag is used to handle escaped ‘<’ and ‘>’. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise.

i> v_i> v_i< i> i< i< “inner <> block”, select [count] <> blocks, from the [count]‘th unmatched’<’ backwards to the matching ‘>’, excluding the ‘<’ and ‘>’. It’s an error to select an empty inner block like “<>”. The |cpo-M| option flag is used to handle escaped ‘<’ and ‘>’. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise.

                    *v_at* *at*

at “a tag block”, select [count] tag blocks, from the [count]’th unmatched “” backwards to the matching “”, including the “” and “”. See |tag-blocks| about the details. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. Only available when compiled with the |+eval| feature.

                    *v_it* *it*

it “inner tag block”, select [count] tag blocks, from the [count]’th unmatched “” backwards to the matching “”, excluding the “” and “”. See |tag-blocks| about the details. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise.

a} v_a} a} a{ a{ v_aB v_a{ aB aB “a Block”, select [count] Blocks, from “[count] [{” to the matching ‘}’, including the ‘{’ and ‘}’ (see |[{|). The |cpo-M| option flag is used to handle escaped braces. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise.

i} v_i} i} i{ i{ v_iB v_i{ iB iB “inner Block”, select [count] Blocks, from “[count] [{” to the matching ‘}’, excluding the ‘{’ and ‘}’ (see |[{|). It’s an error to select an empty inner block like “{}”. The |cpo-M| option flag is used to handle escaped braces. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise.

a” v_aquote aquote a’ v_a’ a’ a*v_a* a` “a quoted string”. Selects the text from the previous quote until the next quote. The ‘quoteescape’ option is used to skip escaped quotes. Only works within one line. When the cursor starts on a quote, Vim will figure out which quote pairs form a string by searching from the start of the line. Any trailing white space is included, unless there is none, then leading white space is included. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. Repeating this object in Visual mode another string is included. A count is currently not used.

i” v_iquote iquote i’ v_i’ i’ i*v_i* *i* Like a", a' and a, but exclude the quotes and repeating won’t extend the Visual selection. Special case: With a count of 2 the quotes are included, but no extra white space as with a”/a’/a`.
