+&lt;p&gt;Vim also provides a list of handy context based options to make certain editing use cases easier using the &lt;code&gt;i&lt;&#x2F;code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;a&lt;&#x2F;code&gt; text object selections. You can easily remember the difference between these two options by thinking &lt;code&gt;i&lt;&#x2F;code&gt; as &lt;strong&gt;inner&lt;&#x2F;strong&gt; and &lt;code&gt;a&lt;&#x2F;code&gt; as &lt;strong&gt;around&lt;&#x2F;strong&gt;.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;diw&lt;&#x2F;kbd&gt; delete a word regardless of where the cursor is on that word
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;equivalent to using &lt;kbd&gt;de&lt;&#x2F;kbd&gt; when the cursor is on the first character of the word&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
+&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
+&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;diW&lt;&#x2F;kbd&gt; delete a WORD regardless of where the cursor is on that WORD&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;daw&lt;&#x2F;kbd&gt; delete a word regardless of where the cursor is on that word as well as a space character to the left&#x2F;right of the word depending on its position in the current sentence&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;dis&lt;&#x2F;kbd&gt; delete a sentence regardless of where the cursor is on that sentence&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;yas&lt;&#x2F;kbd&gt; copy a sentence regardless of where the cursor is on that sentence as well as a space character to the left&#x2F;right&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;cip&lt;&#x2F;kbd&gt; delete a paragraph regardless of where the cursor is on that paragraph and change to Insert mode&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;dit&lt;&#x2F;kbd&gt; delete all characters within HTML&#x2F;XML tags, nesting is taken care as well
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;see &lt;a href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vimhelp.org&#x2F;motion.txt.html#tag-blocks&quot;&gt;:h tag-blocks&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; for details about corner cases&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
+&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
+&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;di&amp;quot;&lt;&#x2F;kbd&gt; delete all characters within a pair of double quotes, regardless of where the cursor is within the quotes&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;da&#x27;&lt;&#x2F;kbd&gt; delete all characters within a pair of single quotes along with the quote characters&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;ci(&lt;&#x2F;kbd&gt; delete all characters within &lt;code&gt;()&lt;&#x2F;code&gt; and change to Insert mode
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;works even if the parenthesis are spread over multiple lines, nesting is taken care as well&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
+&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
+&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;ya}&lt;&#x2F;kbd&gt; copy all characters within &lt;code&gt;{}&lt;&#x2F;code&gt; including the &lt;code&gt;{}&lt;&#x2F;code&gt; characters
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;works even if the braces are spread over multiple lines, nesting is taken care as well&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;

+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;&#x2F;images&#x2F;info.svg&quot; alt=&quot;info&quot; &#x2F;&gt; You can use a count prefix for nested cases. For example, &lt;kbd&gt;c2i{&lt;&#x2F;kbd&gt; will clear the inner braces (including the braces, and this could be nested too) and then only the text between braces for the next level.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
