working when outside of interesting areas #91

I don't know if it is suppose to work when I want to change a (something) to [something] and the cursor is outside of that place (but on the same line of course), but it only works with "".

I think it would be useful to work with parenthesis...

Unforunately I think this comes down to vim behaviour. The quote text objects look ahead, but I don't think any of the others do. Could be vim-surround works around that though.

Pretty much. In hindsight it would have been better to not rely on text objects in our implementation.
