My present plan is for vim mode to use Leo's existing find user
interface *as if* you had typed / or ? followed by search and optional
replace patterns.
So yes, / and ? specify searches, but they will do that by simulating
a Ctrl-F. Vim mode will remember those patterns for the dot.
Instead of typing:
/pattern/pattern/flags
you will type:
/ (puts you in Leo's existing search gui)
pattern
<Return> starts the search, <Tab> allows a replace pattern.
Alt-Ctrl keys any time while entering a pattern changes the Find Panel.
This is the way the so-called "minibuffer" search works. It's much
more vim-like than using the cursor (ugh!) to put text in the
find/replace text boxes.
Hope this is clear. Do you use minibuffer searching now? To enable it::
@bool minibuffer_find_mode = True
