I often need to edit huge .yaml files, where I need to delete entire maps or arrays.
My current approach is to go into visual (line-wise) mode (Shift + V) and mark the lines manually, but that feels cumbersome compared to editing HTML tags in Vim (e.g. dit)
How can I efficiently delete .yaml elements in Vim?
Another great use of indent-object: I believe dii or one of the other maps would do it here.
indent-object as a Vim package? I don't use vim-plug and have no intention to install it.
~/.vim/pack/<some arbitrary name>/start/indent-object @Shuzheng
indent-object seems to work very well with .yaml maps, but it fails for arrays, i.e. it's not possible to remove a single array element etc., since indentation for arrays is the same as for the surrounding map
