Till Character

`t` stands for 'till'. Like `f`, it searches for a character on the current line, but it stops *one character before* it.

This is especially powerful when editing up to punctuation or delimiters.

Till character motions

  • t{char}jump forward till (one character before) {char}
  • T{char}jump backward till (one character after) {char}
  • ;repeat last till motion
