Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

This is a list of custom pseudo-text objects for Vim.

Note the use of "pseudo", here. Conceptually, text object are "special" motions but there is no proper mechanism dedicated to creating text objects, specifically. We are left with the generic mechanism succinctly described under the easy-to-miss :help omap-info.

Writing one's own pseudo-text objects and motions is a great way to extend Vim without perverting its nature ;-).
