It's not very easy but there are some plugins that ought to make it
possible, such as vim-textobj-user
(https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2100) and CountJump
(https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3130).

I made a quick attempt with CountJump and managed to make it somewhat
partially work:

I installed it by reading the .vmb.gz in Vim, doing :UseVimball, reading
ingo-library-1.042.vmb.gz from
https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4433 and doing
:UseVimball again.

I then used
 :call CountJump#TextObject#MakeWithCountSearch('','z','ai','','«','»')
which apparently registered a new iz text object: after that "ciz"
changed a «» block such as
«
a
b
c
»

to
«
»

However, it didn't work with inline strings («abc») and it left the
borders of the block unaltered:
«12
a
b
c
34»
became
«12

34»
after "ciz".

And I didn't manage to make it work with "ci«" (by replacing the z with
a «), but of course I don't have a keyboard with that key, I typed it in
with "C-K <<", maybe it can be made to work with some kind of mapping.


Kind regards,

Gabriele
