I want to do something similar to this question VI (VIM): delete/change right to left? i.e. delete from the end of a line to the last instance of = in that line, which can be done using dT= with the cursor placed at the end of the line.

However this and other such commands do not delete the final character of the line, so I have to add an x to that command. I don’t mind doing this, yet it seems surprising that vim wouldn’t have a command to delete from the current character. Is there one that I just haven’t been able to find?

    if your cursor is at the end of the line, you could try

    F=D

    oh, didn’t notice that OP wants to keep the ‘=’. then:

    T=D
