highlight-current-n.nvim VS nvim-hlslens

I used :noh for a while but now I’m using https://github.com/rktjmp/highlight-current-n.nvim, which does more than what you might be looking for (it only highlights the current match).

highlight-current-n may do what you want, though it "holds" the highlight until you move, it doesn't flash.

Search: nvim-hlslens

I've configured nvim-hlslens as https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-hlslens shown, using Minimal configuration, but I could not achieve what the other has shown in https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17562139/144654751-0d439610-b913-4e72-b473-e49db3317fab.mp4

That's part of noice.nvim, but you could also use something like https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-hlslens to get a similar effect

The plugin I found for this function is cmd2.vim: https://github.com/gelguy/Cmd2.vim, but this is from 2015, doesn't really support nvim, and conflicts with nvim-hlslens which I use.

I do use nvim-hlslens to count search result occurence. What's hindering me to use your function right now is hlslens' integration with nvim-scrollbar

nvim-hlslens: shows indexed search using virtual text, better ux than vim-anzu and other similar plugins.

I just recently discovered kevinhwang91/nvim-hlslens, and gave it a go. After a bit I encountered a very specific and annoying bug:

nvim-hlslens: Humanized UI for search results with high performance, I'm the author.

Not exactly about fixing Vim's original match indicator, but from my experience, nvim-hlslens can show the total number of matches even if it's pretty big. I believe it's fine as long as the number is smaller than 100k.
