An operator performs an action (delete, change, yank…), and a motion tells it how far to reach.</p> <h2 id="delete">Delete</h2> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Key</th> <th>Action</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td><code>dw</code></td> <td>Delete to start of next word</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>d$</code></td> <td>Delete to end of line</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>dd</code></td> <td>Delete whole line</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>x</code></td> <td>Delete character under cursor</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>d[motion]</code></td> <td>Delete + any motion (e.g. <code>d3w</code>, <code>dG</code>)</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h2 id="change">Change</h2> <p>Change operators delete text <strong>and</strong> drop you into Insert mode.</p>
