breaks are legal inside a string. So Vim looks for the nearest (or, with
a count, nth-nearest) quote on either side of the cursor.

the only problem is that

   ci"

doesn't work on multi-line strings, e.g. this Python:

   foo = """
      my cursor
      --> X <--
      is here between
      the arrows
      """

And I'd consider *that* a bug :-) (or at least an un-feature)

-tim




I checked (unlike for my preceding post), and sure enough, it is documented (under :help a" ): "Only works within one line".

Best regards,

suggest he go shopping for a used 427 Shelby-Cobra.  But it is only
fair to warn you that of the 300 guys who switched to them in 1966,
only two went back to women.
