ci is "change inner ..."

If we use | to mark our cursor, and you have your cursor inside quote: '"he|re"'

ci" would replace everything inside giving you '"|"' and putting you in insert mode.

cab would aso remove the quotation marks and give you '|'

With ce or cw you'd get '"he"' and cE or cW would give you '"he'
