I have cursor at first t and I want to delete all this code from t to };\n without counting lines. How can I achieve it? Is there more cleaner way than d/};$/e?
tabControl.PropertyChanged += (s, e) =>
{
...
};
If it matters, this is C#.
I would have gone for v<down>%<right>d, or vj%ld if you're allergic to cursor keys.
Thanks to v we can go into visual mode and from here, it looks like an interactive mode to select something on which a command will be applied.
Note: As Tumbler has indicated, you could also have used V<down>%d which will neatly handle the last line.
V for whole lines. That way the last ; gets deleted too.

Vj%d
is one solution.
V/^};<CR>d
is another.
Whatever works for you, really.
dab` is for deleting a block. You can also use da{ for that to take effect.
In case if ; at the end is not deleted, you can press x to delete that character
A few solutions have already been mentioned and I would like to add one more that might help.
If there is a blank line after };, which I am assuming is not rare considering that its the end of a block, you can just do d} and that will delete till the blank line.
But Of course this won't work if the next line starts immediately without a blank line or if there is a blank line inside the block. I hope that helped.
} breaks on empty lines. You can probably create a text object of your own for C# if you did not find anything else.

};, so the search could be the good option no ?d}is a good option.. else tryd][dd4dd?Vj%dtakes only five keys and is applicable for any length of code block and for code blocks without semicolon after}
