Where is the bug, that there's no match?! That's intended, as the last \%V matches zero-width _after_ the end of "foobar", but the visual selection ends on the "r". You'd have to use /\%Vfooba\%Vr here. (The example at :help \%V is wrong about this corner case, too.) The general case is this ugly beast: /\%Vfoobar\%(\%V\|\%(\%V.\)\@<=\). Since restricting the match to inside the entire selection is such a common use case (see the related vis.vim plugin), I think it would be worthwhile to have a special atom (e.g. \%<V) that matches if the _preceding character_ is inside the selection, allowing this much nicer pattern: /\%Vfoobar\%<V -- regards, ingo -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
