You missed the truly best feature of vim, the i directive.
Say you have this code:
function(foo, bar) { // some stuff }
To select the entire params list, with the cursor in command mode and inside of the params type:
vi(
Now you can copy it or what ever
To select the entire function body
vi{
Better yet, you may want to redefine the param list:
ci(
Which deletes the params and switches you into insert mode
And finally say you are editing some HTML,
<p>Delete this message</p>
You can use:
cit
To clear everything inside of a tag.
Ah, thanks!!
