Vim: How to change/select function name

Given:

function(param);

With the cursor anywhere on function, I can use ciw on function to replace it, or viw to select the function name.

How do I do the same thing in the following cases:

object.function(param);
object.function<blah>(param);

Note that ciW or viW does not work. Does this require redefining how vim respects its 'words'?

You are on the right track, you need to adjust the way vim separates words.

For this add . as a word separator:

:set iskeyword+=\.
