I was reminded of this while doing some markdown editing in Vim earlier today. Here are the motions:</p> <p><code>(</code> - Delete sentences backwards<br> <code>)</code> - Delete sentences forwards</p> <p>Combining those with a few common operations in Vim let's you work some editing magic:</p> <p><code>d(</code> - delete the sentence before your cursor<br> <code>d)</code> - delete the sentence after your cursor</p> <p><code>c(</code> - delete the sentence before your cursor<br> <code>c)</code> - delete the sentence after your cursor</p> <p>I rediscovered these earlier today and hopefully they'll help you too. Until next time! 👋</p> vim
