Question

Say I have a line

hello how-ar[]e-you doing

where []is my cursor. How would I effectively choose how-are-youto

hello [how-are-you] doing

So far I could come up with Bvt<space>

Answer 1

Vim has the concepts of “word” and “word”, where “word” is a sequence of characters in an option 'iskeyword', and “WORD” is a sequence of characters without spaces.

In this way,...

• movement w("word") will move to -after are, because it is -not part 'iskeyword',
• movement w("WORD") will move to doing,
• iw ( " " ) are,
• iw ( " WORD" ) how-are-you,
• .. .

, , iw:

viW

Answer 2
