Re: motion t} does not work

Thank you for your help John.
Your example does work.

I now realize that t{char} is a line motion. I thought (wrongly) it
was looking for the first matching character to the right or below
where the cursor is.

Is there a way to quickly select all text starting from the current
position of the cursor to the specified character even if the
specified character is not on the same line?

For example if the cursor is between d and e on the next two lines

abc{def
ghijkl}mn

I would like to figure out a quick way for Vim to select

'ef
ghijkl'

Thank you,
Antonis
