Hitting * after a visual selection is made doesn't highlight the matches
Opened this issue · 1 comments
Hi,
Steps to reproduce with Vim 8.0:
- Create a file with this content:
hello world
hello world
-
Visually select the first line's hello world
-
Press
*
-
Nothing is highlighted but the command window will show
/\Vhello world
I would have expected both hello world lines to be highlighted which is the behavior with vim-visual-star-search
(which I uninstalled to avoid conflicts).
It's also worth pointing out if I move the cursor over the word hello and press *
then it immediately highlights both hello strings, so this seems isolated to visually selecting words.
Also, if I press n
after visually selecting text then the highlight happens but that seems like an unexpected event.
Am I doing something wrong? It's supposed to highlight the match after only pressing *
right?
I'm facing the same issue.
