`till_prev_char`
Waits for another keypress, then moves and
selects backward, stopping before the first
instance of the pressed key. Can take
a count, which will cause it to stop
before the nth instance of the keypress,
rather than the first.
--- Examples ---
The cursor moves backward, stopping before 'h'
and selecting everything along the way.
┌───────────────────────┐ h ┌───────────────────────┐
│ This is a sent[e]nce. │ --> │ Th[is is a sente)nce. │
└───────────────────────┘ └───────────────────────┘
The cursor is not stopped by line breaks.
┌──────────────────────────────────┐ ┌───────────────────────────────────┐
│ There is a Q in this first line. │ Q │ There is a Q[ in this first line. │
│ This is the se[c]ond line. │ --> │ This is the sec)ond line. │
└──────────────────────────────────┘ └───────────────────────────────────┘
