Try "Delete until the 3rd closed parenthesis", or "Delete everything within the {} block currently under the cursor".
In Vim it's pretty natural, because commands are compositional. It's like you can "talk" with the editor and tell them exactly what you want, rather than just moving around and inserting/removing/selecting characters.
Granted, it's not easy to learn and perhaps not for everyone. I think it takes a certain kind of... disposition, maybe?, to appreciate it.
- _v7gu 5y agoToday I learned there was a better way than "dt)..", but that is still one of the things I like most about vim: verb+adverb+subject goes a really long way instead of trying to learn millions of keyboard shortcuts. Each new verb really expands your options rather than doing a single thing like a keyboard shortcut.
