Agreed re: cw vs. cqwq, thanks for clarifying (I was treating change +
sweep as a completely separate operation). Frankly, I'm finding quoted
motion a tad confusing—some of the issues raised are clearly due to
user error.
One more example:
- cqwwq: only changes the first word
- The second word motion essentially behaves as l;
- cq2wq, the most direct analogue to normal vi, works as expected.
Is this as intended? If so, then the only valid issue I've raised is:
d3qGeq, c3qGeq (rectangles).
