Neo/vim does this with community and built-in “text objects”.

These are great. I really have come to love this little plugin that extends and creates a/i textobjects:

Do you use it professionally or as your daily driver?

My experience had been that such plugins tend to need a lot of tuning to work flawlessly, which I don't like to do anymore.

I like to live default mode for the most part, but for that a piece of technology must be dedicated to a smooth out of the box experience. But all that fancy neovim/dwm/... ecosystem tend to be "we provide you a great framework to create your own things", which is nice, but not for me.


Not op but I’ll vouch for the mini.nvim plugin suite. While I take advantage of their high configurability, their defaults are well thought out and I happily use some like that as well.
