It's getting pretty easy to add new features to vim mode, as today's
work indicates.  Please continue to let me know about stumbling
blocks...

Never??

Do you have @bool minibuffer_find_mode = True ?

If so, you can search like this::

:s<return>find pattern<return>  OR
<Ctrl-F>find pattern<return>

F3 to find again.
F2 to find again in the reverse direction

You do replaces like this:

:s<return>find pattern<tab>replace pattern<return> OR
<Ctrl-F>find pattern<tab>replace pattern<return>

Then:

<Ctrl-=> to replace
<Ctrl--> to replace, then find.
F3 to search again, without replacing.
F2 to find again in the reverse direction, without replacing.

In other words, you can choose between :s and <Ctrl-F>  Hehe.

As I write this, in vim mode it might be possible to use:

/<Return> instead of F3
?<Return> instead of F2
and maybe some other plain keys instead of <Ctrl-=> and <Ctrl-->

Alternatively, after starting the search the Leo-legacy way, the
search could enter a vim-like "confirmation mode".  It would be easy
to do...
