How do I change the content inside backticks?

Explanation

The ci` command changes the text inside backtick delimiters. This is useful when editing markdown inline code or template literals.

How it works

• c is the change operator
• i` is the "inner backticks" text object
• Deletes content between backticks and enters insert mode
• Backticks are preserved

Example

Use the `oldCommand` to do things.

With cursor inside the backticks, ci` deletes oldCommand and enters insert mode. Type newCommand.

Tips

• ca` changes around backticks (deletes them too)
• di` deletes without entering insert mode
• vi` selects inside backticks
• Works in markdown files for editing inline code
• Also useful for JavaScript template literals
