targets.vim

targets.vim extends Vim with a rich set of additional text objects that work like native “inside/around” (i/a) objects but cover more delimiters and structures. It introduces flexible objects for arguments, separators, quotes, tags, and custom pairs so you can select, change, or delete logical units with fewer keystrokes. The plugin also adds “next” and “last” variants, enabling you to operate on the upcoming or previous occurrence without moving the cursor first. Its design emphasizes predictability: the same mental model as built-in objects applies across many new patterns. Because it’s purely text-object oriented, it composes naturally with motions, operators, and dot-repeat for powerful refactors. This dramatically speeds structural edits in code and markup where consistent delimiter logic matters.
