 While I’m pretty good with the VIM keybindings, I would like to play around with the [[https://evil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extension.html#text-objects][text objects]] and how it compares to others (including the surround), for instance:
   - ~diw~ :: deletes a word, but can be anywhere in it, while ~de~ deletes to the end of the word.
   - ~daw~ :: deletes a word, plus the surrounding space, but not punctuation.

 *** Text Objects based on Indentation
 The [[https://github.com/TheBB/evil-indent-plus][evil-indent-plus]] project creates text objects based on the indentation level, similar to how the ~b~ works with “blocks” of code.
