with evil we have the inner or outer object for selecting inside or outside quote with ", `, ’

but I rather have everything hapenning in one go, using the q letter for this. (lazyvim sems to have that setup by default which i seems to have got used to it)

It’s easy enough to redefine an object like this:

(define-key evil-outer-text-objects-map "q" 'evil-a-double-quote)
(define-key evil-inner-text-objects-map "q" 'evil-inner-double-quote)

which obviously only select the double quotes, anyone would know how to extend this to backquote ` or single quote ’

    There is evil-textobj-anyblock which does a similar thing (you can configure evil-textobj-anyblock-blocks to only use quotes, if you don’t like that by default it uses all kinds of blocks)
