Bug ID: 449641
Summary: Highlight matched word(s) upon jumping to
next/previous whole word under cursor
Product: kate
Version: 21.12.1
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Vi Input Mode
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ombroph...@outlook.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When the keyboard shortcut `*` or `#` is pressed in normal mode, the cursor
jumps to the respective next or previous occurrence of the word which was under
the cursor. Although this feature works nicely with Kate (or Kwrite), it does
not highlight the relevant sets of words. It would be very helpful if, like in
Vim, the relevant word is highlighted as well.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a document in Kate with Vi input mode enabled.
2. Move the cursor over a word.
2. Press `*` or `#` to jump to the next or previous entry of the word in the
document.
OBSERVED RESULT
Althought the cursor jumps to the relevant location, the set of words being
jump over are not highlighted.
EXPECTED RESULT
The word should be highlighted when `*` or `#` is pressed.
