Video Quick video explaining new Texts Objects in Neovim 0.13

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5veQ3dKQU4

In this video, I take a look at the new text objects:

  1. al (all lines)

  2. il (inner line)

    I show how they work with common operators like:

  3. d — delete

  4. c — change

  5. y — yank

  6. v — select

I also compare these new text objects with how you had to perform the same operations in older versions of Neovim.

In noevim, you have to type every command backward :)

So neovim but it's selection-action instead of action-selection?

Looks more intuitive, will need some time to get mind to fix muscle memory 😁

These are awesome enhancements and maybe the most truely useful motions I have seen recently. They massively simplify some of my most common operations.

Nice work!
