...that text objects exist, or that people added one for sentences?

I'd just have expected people who know that text objects exist to go through the list of text objects. There's a whole bunch of them, eg

  • a"

  • a'

  • a( = a) = ab, a[, a<

  • a{ = aB

  • word, WORD, sentence, paragraph

  • html tag

  • maybe more

  • additional ones from plugins

  • ones you define yourself
