vim-textobj-sentence VS targets.vim

Fork https://github.com/preservim/vim-textobj-sentence and make it treat a comma as end of sentence.

There is vim-textobj-sentence to make its sentence detection slightly more intelligent, and targets.vim which gives you some nice helpers for operating on different explicit delimiters and structures.

This plugin provides motion commands based on full sentence detection. You can switch around sentences with ( and ) and use it just as any other motion commands. Depends on vim-textobj-user plugin.

targets is nice too.

The thing that has the biggest impact on me is ci”, ca”, da”, etc.. so I suggested getting used to using those.. and then you can get more pedantic with it using https://github.com/wellle/targets.vim

I do recommend getting, targets.vim https://github.com/wellle/targets.vim .. which unlocks the n(ext) and l(ast) verbs(?) ..ahhhh it’s REALLY REALLY good, I use 2in” like a lot

In fact, as /u/Chillbrosaurus_Rex points out, there's a plugin, targets.vim, that expands on Vim's built-in text objects, and one of the things it does is to provide this kind of forward and reverse direction functionality.

Hey, I use targets.vim, how does it compare with that?

You might benefit from targets.vim, it works well with your thought process. It adds a bunch of new really useful editing targets (which should be builtin imo).

Thanks for the through explanation. I has seen that and considered using it in the past. Can I ask how it compares to https://github.com/wellle/targets.vim? Would you consider mini.ai a replacement or complementary?

This is provided by targets.vim, along with a bunch of other useful text objects.
