Maybe one lesser known is changing to visual mode within operation. A few examples (^ marks the cursor): one two three ^ 'db' would leave letter "e" behind. But 'dvb' would include the "e" as well. Another example, say we want to delete from "two" to "five". one two ^ three four five six 'd/five' would leave a "t" as well as "five", but 'dV/five' would delete all necessary lines. This helps targeting lines without using relative line numbers.
