Inner and around text objects

[Chirunos]

I find Vim's text objects (particularly i(, i{ and i") to be very helpful, but unfortunately OpenVi doesn't seem to support them, which slows me down quite a lot.

I do not think that is a POSIX vi feature, nor a historical one.

I will defer to others, but even the referenced documentation page says:

These commands are {not in Vi}.

While I don’t have any plans to implement this any time soon, I wouldn’t be opposed to it, especially if it could be upstreamed to OpenBSD (since it is something that could be considered a “major” feature). I do appreciate those commands in Vim myself.
