Sometimes people ask me for a command to search for the text that is
currently visually selected. You could add a mapping for the '/' key,
but then you lose the possibility to extend the visual area by
searching for a pattern.
Since we might need more commands in Visual mode later, and we only have
a few keys left to be used, we need to use two key combinations for
new commands in Visual mode.
I think we can start using the '&' key. Currently it doesn't do
anything. For now we could add the commands:
&/ search for the Visually selected text forward
&? same, backward
Do you plan to treat visual selection as pattern, or a literal text-to
search ?
