Say I have this line of code:
$query = "SELECT * FROM table";
Is there a command in vi/vim which can instantly delete everything between quotes and position the cursor between them so I can start typing?
Use
ci", which means: change what inside the double quotes.You can also manipulate other text objects in a similar way, e.g.:
ci'– change inside the single quotesciw– change inside a wordci(– change inside parenthesesdit– delete inside an HTML tag, etc.More about different vim text objects here.
