#Tip9: Compose Repeatable Change

Goal: delete the word nigh

##Delete Backward
tip9_1

##db

delete from the cursor's starting position to the beginning of the word, but it leaves the final h intact.
comment: dot repeats the single character deletion(. == x)

##Delete Forward
tip9_2

##b

put the cursor into position of the starting of the word.

##dw

delete from the cursor position to the begining of the next word.
comment: dot isn't useful cause cursor is already at end of the line(no next word). at least: . == dw

##Delete an Entire Word
tip9_3

##daw

delete the current word and also delete a whitespace character.
comment: dot repeats the instruction to delete a word. . == daw
