But "dTb" does keep the character under the cursor. If you're at
the end of the line and *do* want to delete the character under the
cursor, you can use
vTbd
to use character-wise visual mode or
TbD
to position first and then delete to the end of the line (slightly
different behaviors if the cursor isn't at the end of the line).
There are lots of options depending on how much you want to do
manually vs. automatically, as well as how easy it is to identify the
matches in question.
