I’d like actual examples instead of “I work faster”, something like “I can move straight to the middle of the file with 7mv” or “I can keep 4 different text snippets in memory and paste each with a number+pt, like 2pt”, things that you actually use somewhat frequently instead of what you can do, but probably only did once.
Welcome! I also stumbled upon these after I’d been using vim for a while. You’ve probably seen them in guides but glossed over them like I did originally. But once you get used to using these keys, you’ll wonder how you lived without them!
Used in combos like
f(dib(delete function parameters), or2t.(go back two periods, or sentences) they’re so great for moving within a long row.
