The fact that Vim highlights the strings matched by a search expression can be useful if you are searching for visual patterns in a text.
I would like to now if it was possible to quickly cycle throught the last searches? By that I mean faster that hitting /
then <Up>
a given number of time, because the number of time you have to hit <Up>
grows quadratically with the length of the cycle.
To give an example:
There is a loop in this gif, but it would be fine if having to go back was necessary.
