vim-slash VS nvim-hlslens

I changed most of the plugins I used for the mini versions, they are simple and lightweight and have a very simple configuration pattern. Thank you so much u/echasnovski for your work and dedication. Taking this opportunity, I would like to make a suggestion, a mini version of vim-slash, that automatically clears search highlight when cursor is moved in insert mode.

I just switched to using packer and recently added the plugin junegunn/vim-slash. I like the "auto clear highlight" but don't like some of the key bindings declared in the plugin. The plugin seems to be "done" so I can just fork it but I'd like to know if there's a solution for any plugin so I can easily keep my plugins up to date without having to manually merge.

romainl seems to recommend https://github.com/junegunn/vim-slash as a more complete alternative. Use whatever makes you happy.

There's also vim-slash

Obviously use / and * where possible. https://github.com/junegunn/vim-slash makes this more bearable.

You can use "*" for this if you have either https://github.com/haya14busa/vim-asterisk Or https://github.com/junegunn/vim-slash

https://github.com/junegunn/vim-slash This is useful as heck :D

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

kevinhwang91/nvim-hlslens might help with this specific problem

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.
