I can't think of a simple way to capture all keys without mapping all
possible keys, something like:
for ch in range(32, 126)
exec 'nnoremap <expr>' nr2char(ch) 'sendcommand('.nr2char(ch).')'
endfor
Inside sendcommand() you should check the mode, something like:
function sendcommand(ch)
if getcmdtype() == '/'
" do something
endif
return a:ch
endfunction
If this is not acceptable to you, you can map / to trigger your function
which will read the keys using getchar(). You will have to implement at
least a sub set of editing mode keys. Take a look at my execmap.vim
plugin that does this.
