How do I highlight the block of text between two delimiters / tags / "surroundings"?
(e.g., between matching parentheses ()s, quotes "", html tags (div../div), etc.)
(Or maybe how to select the block, if that would have the same effect as highlighting it)
I have the vim-surround plugin installed, so that could be used for the solution, or just plain vim is fine too.
Type the following commands in normal mode / command mode:
vit
(I just discovered that ☝️ answer ☝️ on stackoverflow)
:help v
:help v_it (inner tag block)
:help text-objects
