Me, I go to whatever I'm looking for, hit 'v', then use normal motion
commands (eg, "3e") to highlight the text in question, instead of using
the moose.
If a single word, '*' will automagically highlight and search for the
word under the cursor.
>From there, once you highlighted the exact pattern you want, can just
use
:%s//newname/gc
as it remembers what you just looked for. No need to reinsert it for
the 's' command.
