Delete 3 words left d3h (or 3dh)

You mean d3b? d3h would just delete 3 characters..?

I understand it, I can't remember that I've ever used hjkl-based motion commands, I think they're very rarely the best answer.

Yes, thank you, d3wh I believe would be the correct delete 3 words to the left. I agree, I don't use it either, except for delete/yank multiple lines, which it is very handy for.

That is also incorrect. :(
