vim-slash
vim-slash provides a set of mappings for enhancing in-buffer search experience in Vim.
- Automatically clears search highlight when cursor is moved
- Improved star-search (visual-mode, highlighting without moving)
Installation
Using vim-plug:
Plug 'junegunn/vim-slash'
Comparison with vim-oblique
vim-slash is a smaller alternative to vim-oblique. vim-oblique depends on a reimplementation of Vim command-line interface which is incomplete and has a number of issues that cannot be easily fixed. vim-oblique is also much slower than the native /-search when working with large files.
Many features of vim-oblique are missing in vim-slash, but frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
