Installation

Antigen

Usage

In zsh vi mode (bindkey -v) for both vicmd and visual modes:

• / Forward search
• ? Backward search
• * Forward search of the word under the cursor
• # Backward search of the word under the cursor
• n Repeat last search
• N Repeat last search in the opposite direction

Configure

• ZSH_VI_SEARCH_GREP_PARAMETERS (default (-i)): the parameters of the grep command used to match search patterns.
• ZSH_VI_SEARCH_PREFIX (default ''): automatically add this prefix to your search.
• ZSH_VI_SEARCH_NOHL (default is unset): set it to any value to disable search highlighting.

# Example
ZSH_VI_SEARCH_GREP_PARAMETERS=(-i --fixed-strings)
ZSH_VI_SEARCH_PREFIX='\<'

Conflicts

In case search highlighting is enabled, this plugin should be loaded after zsh-syntax-highlighting.
