When searching (with "/") and a partial match is highlighted, and the
first partial match is a part of the string one is looking for, it
would be nice if instead of typing the rest of the search string, one
could simply hit the right arrow a number of times to simultaneously
extend the highlighted match and complete the search string.
You are looking for CTRL-L
It's already there :-)
...and how would one find that? ':he ^L' just goes to the :redraw help
and the ':he /' section doesn't appear to talk about 'ctrl-l'.
The very first help page
:help
is a must-read. It says, to find a cmdline-specific key, prepend "c_":
:h c_^L
or
:h c_CTRL-L
The help is implemented with tags, and I've often wondered why ':tn'
doesn't do the obvious thing and take you to the next related help
topic. In this case cycling through ':redraw',<search's ctrl-l help>,
<whatever>, etc.
...Stu, vim user for 20 years, but still learning...
Maybe because this idea isn't so obvious for other people?
At least there is a todo item (without priority):
:h todo|/^Help
Help:
- When a help item has multiple matches make it possible to use ":tn" to go
to the other matches.
