Operators and Motion

Info:

Typing a number with an operator, repeats it that many times. Motion is the function that you give to the operator. For example dw means delete word. So in this example, d is the delete operator and w is the motion.

For example:

In the combination of the delete operator and a motion such as words, combined with a number, you can repeat the operation automatically that many times.

:d2w :

• d is the delete operator.
• 2 is the count that the operation should be repeated.
• w is the motion which in this case, means, word

So the operation above will delete the two words that are in front of the cursor. You can change the number as you wish such as d7w to delete 7 words or you can use different operators or motions.
