w/b move forward/backward by word
W/B move forward/backward by word including punctuation
(/) move backward/forward by sentence
{/} move backward/forward by paragraph
/,? search forward, backward
These may be used with d, c or y to dw or db, c( or c), y{ or y},
or even d/search-term or y?search-term to perform an action on
text covered by a search.
One way to think about these various commands is as nouns and
verbs. d, c, s etc. are the verb commands. w, W, b, B, (, ), {,
}, /, ?, etc. are the nouns. Nouns and verbs may be combined
freely. Vim's commands are like a mini-language.
Additionally, you may use text objects from inside those objects.
For example:
iw, aw for 'inner word' and 'a word' may be used with d, c and
y to daw/diw 'delete a word' or delete inner word' from inside of
words. The same may be done with is and as for 'inner sentence'
and 'a sentence' and with ip and ap for 'inner paragraph' and 'a
paragraph'. The various combinations of these work with d, c and
y to delete, change or yank these objects.
