The commands you mentioned along with "ci'", "ci[", and "ciW" to replace all text between delimiters have been some of my favorite to use. It really annoys me when my terminal's vi-mode doesn't support "ci" (I think it's vim-only).

The "ci" and "ca" commands are part of a Vim-only feature called Text Objects (type :help objects in Vim's command mode, or search the web).

I like using yap and dap to copy/move paragraphs around when I'm editing markdown text.
