wrong mim behaviour ?

[O136]

Summary

mim for the following case does nothing

but mim for this case:

selects everything inside the [] bracket pair instead of the "" pair.

After more testing mim works fine for pairs like {},[],() but not for '' (single quote pair) ,"" (double quote pair), ~~(tilde), ``(back tick pair).

Using explicitly the pair character like mi" works as expected though.

its intentioal because you are basically always between two quotes (since its not possible to figure out where inside and outside is for a quote). This can be solved by using treesitter (see #8294) but not for plaintext files. We already have an issue about this linked in that pr so I will close this in favor of that
