Combine an operator with a familiar motion; distinguish delete, change and copy.
Before this lesson: Choose where typing begins.
An operator asks what to do; a motion says how far. d deletes and stays in Normal; c changes and enters Insert; y copies without removing. de deletes through a word end. cw at a word start changes that word. Doubled dd, cc and yy act on a whole line. p puts copied text after the cursor, or below the current line for a linewise copy.
From p in “pack bags”, cw then “carry” then Esc gives “carry bags”. dw would remove the word and following gap. yy then p duplicates a complete line; the original stays.
const message = \"pack bags\";
const message = \"carry bags\";
