Is your feature request about something that is currently impossible or hard to do? Please describe the problem.
When performing more complex substitutions in Vim (e.g. , :s, :%s , :'<,'>s), it is difficult to preview the outcome before executing the command.
Being able to preview substitutions live before executing the command can help identify issues & typos (e.g. & vs \&) in regex patterns early and allow users to fix them before executing the command.
Describe the solution you'd like
A built-in Vim option or a built-in Vim plugin to enable substitution live previews.
