How keyboard macro can possibly replace an editor that operates on text objects? Let's say you have 'foo bar' string, and you want to change quotes to " In Kakoune this operation could look like this: <a-a>' # select string including quotes <a-S> # select first and last character of previous selection r" # replace selections with " Trivial, 5 keystrokes and it works for any type of quotes (I can do for example <a-a>`). Notice that "replace quotes around the string" is not built-in operation in Kakoune. Now how would you achieve that in non-modal editor that also doesn't have this operation built-in?
