Description
In JavaScript, regexes are written like
/[a-zA-Z0-9]/.test('some text')
I would like to quickly delete/change the contents of the Regex. Since the / are basically acting like quotes/brackets, I would like it if I could place my cursor between them and run ci/, ca/, di/ and da/ commands.
Describe alternatives you've considered
ct/ means I have to move the cursor more precisely.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing handling for ci/, ca/, di/, and da/ commands, focusing on slash-delimited JavaScript regexes such as /[a-zA-Z0-9]/. Verify that each command works with the cursor between the slashes and that the regex contents, or the delimiters and contents, are selected as requested.
