Bug ID: 449643
Summary: Searched pattern not highlighted when Vi input mode is
enabled
Product: kate
Version: 21.12.1
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Vi Input Mode

SUMMARY
In Vim, a pattern can be searched for using the keyboard shortcut `/` in normal
mode. Although this feature (and subsequent shortcuts like `n` and `N`) nicely
works in Kate (or Kwrite), it does not highlight the relevant pattern in the
document (the pattern is highlighted only upon __disabling__ Vi input mode and
using Kate's builtin search feature). It would be helpful, if the search
pattern is also highlighted when using the Vi-mode shortcut.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the attached file `sample.txt` in Kate with Vi input mode enabled.
2. In normal mode, search for the pattern `hello world` using the keyboard
shortcut `/`.
3. Search for the pattern again using Edit->Find.
4. Now turn off Vi input mode.
5. Once again search for the pattern using Edit->Find.
OBSERVED RESULT
Although the cursor jumps to the next found pattern in steps 2 and 3, the
patterns in these cases are not highlighted. However, the patterns are
highlighted after steps 4 and 5.
EXPECTED RESULT
The search pattern ought to be highlighted when Vi input mode is enabled (as
well as when using the Vi shortcut `/`).
