`*` followed by `:%s//x/g` is broken #21

Open gtklocker opened 2 years ago

gtklocker commented 2 years ago

Expected result: The words matched by * are replaced with x. Actual result: After typing :%s/ the magic \v is inserted, and typing the rest of the command /x/g replaces every second character of every line with x.

Thanks for the report. Technically not "broken" per se because Loupe is just doing what it promised it would do (insert \v as soon as you type :%s/), but I can see why this would be annoying. I gather what you expect is that if you type / after that, that the \v will get deleted, leaving just :%s// — is that right?

Indeed, strictly speaking I meant my workflow is broken 😅 rather than the plugin itself.

Yes, this makes sense as a solution.
