find_till_char

Waits for another keypress, then moves and selects forward, stopping before the first instance of the pressed key. Can take a count, which will cause it to stop before the nth instance of the keypress, rather than the first.

--- Examples ---

The cursor moves forward, stopping before 'c' and selecting everything along the way. ┌───────────────────────┐ c ┌───────────────────────┐ │ This i[s] a sentence. │ --> │ This i(s a senten]ce. │ └───────────────────────┘ └───────────────────────┘

The cursor is not stopped by line breaks. ┌───────────────────────────┐ ┌────────────────────────────┐ │ This is the fi[r]st line. │ Q │ This is the fi(rst line. │ │ This second line has a Q. │ --> │ This second line has a ]Q. │ └───────────────────────────┘ └────────────────────────────┘
