Re: How to delete from the current cursor position to a particular character on the same line?
Your {foo} to {bar} example has a more-efficient solution:
ci{
"Change inside curly-braces."
Works for quotation marks and brackets, too:
ci" or ci' or ci[ or ci<
You can be on either of the grouping characters or anywhere inside them.
Also, your ct= can be replaced with ce ("Change to end") using default
delimiter chars.

Delete up to a quote mark later in the line:
dt"
Delete up to the third quote mark later in the line:
d3t"
Delete up to a quote mark earlier in the line:
dT"
Delete up to and including a quote mark:
df"
Delete up to and including a quote mark earlier in the line:
dF"
Delete up to and including the second quote mark earlier in the line:
d2F"
Delete forward using a repeat of last to or including search:
d,
Delete backward using a repeat of last to or including search:
d;
Delete to column 40 (either forward or backward):
d40|
I'm a frequent user of the f/F/t/T motions. Often one or the other is
the better choice to use due to frequency of characters used and
context.
In shell scripting, say, I may want to change {foo} to {bar} and
sometimes it will be in single quotes and sometimes double quotes, so
I'll use c2fo with the cursor on the {f} and then the . command works
properly.
Other times I'm changing a bunch of variable names all terminated at
the = to new different names, so I'll use ct= first and c; later.

Re: How to delete from the current cursor position to a particular character on the same line?
Moving to the next " is f" and the f motion is |inclusive| so df" should do it.
See ":help f" (without the quotes).
Best regards,

How to delete from the current cursor position to a particular character on the same line?
I've a common problem that I've never been able to find a solution for.
With a sample script line like the following:
printf "A(%14s), B(%s), C(%14s), D(%14s), E(%14s), F(%3s), G(%-24s),
H(%4s), I(%14s), J(%s),",
"${x01}","${x02}","${x03}","${x04}","${x05}","${x06}","${x07}","${x08}","${x09}","${x10}"
With my cursor at "B" how can I delete from the current cursor position
(col 18) to the first double-quote mark (") efficiently?
Thank you.
