In your editor of choice,

Convert the following line:

context "when the transaction is successful", :focused => true do


To:

context "when the transaction is successful" do


Assume the cursor is on the comma.

Jimmy - Yup. I use visual mode a bunch as well. I learned the / trick when deleting something on the same line from @spicycode. It's nice because it acts a bit like visual mode and works even if there's more than one of the thing you're looking for (since you can keep typing what you're looking at and it'll eventually be highlighted).

I haven't done much counting of things either, but I'm going to experiment with the WORD counting a bit since I haven't tried it. I'm wondering if my brain'll just know how many WORDS there are (when there's only a few).

My first pass at the text object: http://github.com/austintaylor/vim-commaobject

It handles the case you show (da, will work anywhere between the comma, and the end), but it's still pretty easy to confuse it with nested lists. There's a list of caveats in the readme.

The indent object: http://github.com/austintaylor/vim-indentobject

NICE. Your indent object plugin helped me delete a ton of stuff. I love it.

Austin - OK. The commaobject is outstanding. I just sent you a pull request.

@lojic even simpler:

M-d M-d

Thats 3 key presses too, meta held down
