Replace in visual selection
Is it possible to use anzu in selected region? For example I have this line
foo foo foo
I press V to select the line and use anzu-replace-at-cursor-thing but it shows
No symbol at cursor!!

No.
Emacs replacement commands use region for limiting replacement range. Replace commands of anzu behaves same as them.
I think I need to rephrase. Yes, I can use anzu in selected region. But anzu-replace-at-cursor-thing sometime doesn't detect an symbol at cursor.
For example it works on first line but it doesn't work on second.
In evil-mode, cursor is moved to forward of region-end after calling execute-extended-command(M-x).
On line
foo foo foo
when cursor is on the second foo and I press V and anzu-replace-at-cursor-thing, anzu highlights all three foo instead of just second and third.
Also there is a weird cursor jumping to the next line.

In such case, region is from beginning of line to end of line so this behaviour is expected.
Would it be possible to support this cursor position similar to normal cursor?
On the other hand this cursor doesn't play well with multi line selection (selection should be reverted). So maybe it's not worth it.

Yes. But I suppose few people expects such behaviour.
As I'm just picking up maintenance on this package, I'm going to mark this with a "won't fix" based on syohex's last comment (few people would expect this behavior).
However I'll also leave the ticket open for a while in case there are strong objections. Please leave a comment and let me know!
