Question

Here's an example:

console.log("basename of"path.basename(__filename))
console.log(path.dirname(__filename))

With my cursor on path in the first line, I've tried:

dt2)

but then my cursor jumped to the next line, at __filename)), which is last character of that line. I also Googled around and tried:

dt2/)<Enter>

Nothing happened, and I have to manually cancel the highlighting of search the results.

If you want to delete till the second occurence:

d2t)

Which translates to:

d2t)

d    " Delete
  t  " till
 2   " second occurence of
   ) " )

Oh, I thought dt2) is more intuitive, thanks a lot!

Welcome to Vi and Vim! The reason for the cursor movement is what you pointed out in that last comment: vim sees two commands. (1) dt2, which fails (assuming 2 is not in the line after the cursor). (2) ), which moves to the end of the "sentence"
