Integration with Evil

With Evil installed:

  • Press / to start incremental search.
  • Type "text" -> anzu will show (1/5) in mode line
  • Hit Enter to start searching, use n and N to navigate.

After you hit Enter, anzu information disappears from the mode line. This is fine, because selection also disappears. But when you press n or N, selection reappears for a couple of seconds, and cursor moves to the next/previous match.

I expect anzu information also to appear for a couple of seconds after I press n or N.

Currently, anzu information does not appear after hitting n or N.

Maybe I am missing something obvious here?

I can see that vim-anzu provides the following mappings

nmap n <Plug>(anzu-n-with-echo)
nmap N <Plug>(anzu-N-with-echo)

Is there a similar configuration to remap evil's n and N?

I'm not evil user and I don't understand evil well.
I'll check anzu with evil.

It is difficult to use current anzu with evil.

I implement evil-anzu as prototype.
Code is here

Here is screencast of evil-anzu.

I need to study more about evil.

@syohex, I've tried your prototype, it works quite nice! 👍

Are you considering to create a separate github repo for evil-anzu? It would be nice to have a centralized place for feature suggestions, bug fixes, etc.

Ideally I'd love to install it with package manager, to receive future updates, if any 😄

UPDATE: However I realize that sometimes it will be difficult to determine, which repository to use for reporting an issue, since evil-anzu is using anzu. To put it correctly, I'm curious if you are considering moving the evil-anzu code out of gist to github repo, either this or a new one.

I have one UX suggestion, check out the following use case:

This is something I would rather report as a separate issue, let me know if you want me to do that and which repo to use.

  1. Hit / and type some text -> number of matches is visible (OK)
    image
  2. Hit Enter -> cursor moved to the first match, number of matches is not visible (OK)
    image
  3. Hit n -> cursor moved to the next match, number of matches is visible (OK)
    image
  4. Wait a couple of seconds, all matches stop being highlighted, but anzu still displays the number of matches (NOT OK)
    image

I expect this counter to disappear as soon as highlighting drops.

Yes.

Thanks for information. I'll try to fix them.

I'm closing this issue since it has been fixed in emacs-evil-anzu repository.

Thanks again, @syohex!
