exercise 2 of 10

delete words

• w jumps to the start of the next word, b back to the previous one.
• d is an operator: it waits for a motion and deletes what the motion covers.
• dw deletes from the cursor to the start of the next word.

Operator + motion is the grammar of Vim. Every later exercise is a new word in it.
