Perhaps we could go back to the original view when typing the search separator. So long as the user is typing the search pattern it is useful to show the match, but when typing ":%s/foo/", thus starting to type the replacement, it is useful to jump back?I actually cannot guess if the user wants to see the original text or the context of what is going to be replaced. If you have something specific, you can copy it beforehand. And the jumping around can be annoying. Thus I rather leave it like it is.
Not sure if this helps to contribute to the discussion, but personally, I like to see what is going to be replaced, and with what it will be replaced, so I can experiment and get the command right real-time, so I use the traces.vim plugin (https://github.com/markonm/traces.vim). -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
