In Vim, changes exclude motions because they do not update buffer content. When running `f,x`, you have two different actions: the command `f,` moves the cursor and `x` updates the buffer. Only the latter caused a change. Contrast that with `df,` from the earlier example. In it, `f,` instructs the delete operator where to delete. It is a part of the whole delete operator, `df,`.
