Research direction

Start by reviewing the text-object key-chord groundwork in pull request #3853 and the existing vi-mode keybindings. Add support for di' and di" so quoted text is deleted, then verify both commands behave as described.

Description of the new feature/enhancement

As alluded to in #584, PSRL should support vim "text-objects".
Consider supporting the di' and di" commands to delete quoted text.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Most of the ground work ground work done to support Text Objects with respect to key chords has already been laid. This feature will be very easy to implement and only involves wiring a couple of new keybindings.
