Hi Steve,
'dt' is a little more """complicated""" in this case as another
command I want to suggest you. But first what you have asked for:
my $sanity = ISP::Sanity->new({new({ config => 'ISP.conf-dist' }) });
I suppose, your cursor is at the beginning of the line. Then you have
to jump to the beginning of the area you want to delete
f{l
f: jump onto the following character which in this case is:
{: the character
then do a
d2t)
d: delete everything which will be touched by the next movement of the
cursor
2: jump using the SECOND occurence of the given character
t: dont jump onto (as 'f') do but in front of the give character
): finally the "given character" himself
This is a little more """complicated""" since you have to count ')'s
first.
The alternative way to accomlish the same is (cursor again at the
beginning of the line)
f(dib
f: jump onto the given character which is
(:
d: delete all characters touched by the next movement
ib: the "inner block" surrounded by ()
If you want to read more abnout that try
:h text-objects
Have a nice day!
