    Do you want a way to “move” using any text-object motion or just the specific example you’ve given.
    For the first one, just use v at the end

    vatatv
    

    (you can also use o in visual mode, to go to the begining/end of the selection)

    If you want a mapping just do (to use ]t and [t)

     nnoremap ]t vatatv
     nnoremap [t vatatov
    

    or something similar
