Global search for selected text

Open lukepighetti opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

It would be nice if there was an easy way to global search for selected text, the current method is y[space]/C-r"[Enter]

Perhaps if text is selected when you type [space]/ it will be available to search? Open to ideas.

Global search will use the / register as a default. Instead of yanking and pasting from the " register, you can use * to save the current selection to the / register then <space>/<ret> will search for that selection.
