Meino beat me to hitting <send> on my reply, but I'll add that I
usually use
di( or di[ or di{
instead of
dib
because I want to be sure I know what I'm deleting, and as such
tend to be more explicit. My mind muddles what constitutes a
*b*lock object.
If you want to delete the parens too, you can change the above to
dab
da(
da[
da{
or you can just use
d%
to delete from the current opening-paren/bracket/brace to the
matching close-paren/bracket/brace.
Vim's text objects...I'm awfully fond of them! :-)
