The following filetype-specific text objects have been deprecated in nvim-various-textobjs in favour of Treesitter-based equivalents provided by nvim-treesitter-textobjects. The Treesitter approach is both more precise — because it operates on the language’s AST rather than text patterns — and more composable with the rest of the Treesitter ecosystem. Creating a custom query file is a one-time, low-effort migration.
Calling any deprecated function still works but will display a deprecation warning in Neovim with the full migration instructions. The functions will be removed in a future release. The deprecation date is 2025-11-30.

​
mdFencedCodeBlock

Create the file ./queries/markdown/textobjects.scm in your Neovim config dir: 
; extends
(fenced_code_block) @codeblock.outer
(code_fence_content) @codeblock.inner
Then call the text object via nvim-treesitter-textobjects: 
:TSTextobjectSelect @codeblock.outer
:TSTextobjectSelect @codeblock.inner
Create the file ./queries/markdown_inline/textobjects.scm in your Neovim config dir: 
; extends
(inline_link) @mdlink.outer
(link_text) @mdlink.inner
Then call the text object via nvim-treesitter-textobjects: 
:TSTextobjectSelect @mdlink.outer
:TSTextobjectSelect @mdlink.inner

​
mdEmphasis

Create the file ./queries/markdown_inline/textobjects.scm in your Neovim config dir: 
; extends
(emphasis) @emphasis.outer
(strong_emphasis) @emphasis.outer
((strong_emphasis) @emphasis.inner (#offset! @emphasis.inner 0 2 0 -2))
((emphasis) @emphasis.inner (#offset! @emphasis.inner 0 1 0 -1))
Then call the text object via nvim-treesitter-textobjects: 
:TSTextobjectSelect @emphasis.outer
:TSTextobjectSelect @emphasis.inner

​
cssSelector

Create the file ./queries/css/textobjects.scm in your Neovim config dir: 
; extends
(class_selector "." @selector.outer (class_name) @selector.inner @selector.outer)
Then call the text object via nvim-treesitter-textobjects: 
:TSTextobjectSelect @selector.outer
:TSTextobjectSelect @selector.inner

​
shellPipe

Create the file ./queries/{zsh,bash}/textobjects.scm in your Neovim config dir: 
; extends
(pipeline (command) @pipeline.inner @pipeline.outer "|" @pipeline.outer)
Then call the text object via nvim-treesitter-textobjects: 
:TSTextobjectSelect @pipeline.outer
:TSTextobjectSelect @pipeline.inner

​
htmlAttribute

No custom query file is needed for this one. The nvim-treesitter-textobjects plugin already ships with built-in support for HTML attributes. Use the existing capture directly: 
:TSTextobjectSelect @attribute.outer
:TSTextobjectSelect @attribute.inner
