I am writing in TypeScript and would like commands like ciq to let me change the inner contents of a template literal. However, the q part of the command seems to only treat single and double quote marks as valid. Is there any easy fix for this?

  • Minor correction: [apostrophes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Typographic_apostrophe_in_8-bit_encodings) are what you call single quote marks. The characters you show are [backticks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtick). – phd Dec 25 '22 at 20:12

    And I think the command "Change Inside Bacticks" `ci\`` works. – phd Dec 25 '22 at 20:18

    There is no `iq` text object in Vim. The correct text object is ``:help i` ``, as hinted by @phd. – romainl Dec 25 '22 at 22:24

There is i' for single quotes, i" for double quotes, and i` for backticks, but there is no iq text object in Vim.

If you have a iq text object, then it must be provided by some third-party plugin, in which case you will have to read its documentation and, possibly, use its issue tracker.

  • Thank you so much! I meant to mention that I am using the VSCode VIM plugin, I will check what plugins they include by default. – Orr Shalev Dec 26 '22 at 18:54
  • I replaced the Vim tag with the vscodevim tag as this has nothing to do with Vim. – romainl Dec 26 '22 at 21:13
