problem with search-current-word

[bhawkins]

If I've got words with unicode characters, searching with "*" doesn't seem to work like in Vim. This key is bound to the search-current-word function. For example, if I have the text

λ = 0.238
λ
λ
λλ
λλ
λλ

I can't search for either the single- or double-lambda words. The Atom search (command-F) works, but on my keyboard I have to copy-paste the characters which is much less convenient than just hitting "*".

Check list

• Atom version info(atom --version)

Atom : 1.18.0 Electron: 1.3.15 Chrome : 52.0.2743.82 Node : 6.5.0

• vim-mode-plus version.

0.96.2

• Your OS(e.g. macOS Sierra 10.12.3)

macOS El Capitan 10.11.6

• You disabled vim-mode? You cannot use both vim-mode and vim-mode-plus simultaneously.
• Tried to latest stable atom version with latest vim-mode-plus.
• Keybinding issue? Read this.
• If you follow Ideal issue reporting, it's great!
