VSCode Vim extension to search for visual mode selected text

In vim I can search for a visually selected string using a number of techniques including what can be found here:

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Search_for_visually_selected_text

Is there a way to do the same thing in VSCode with the Vim extension?

Solution

  • Right now, VsCodeVim doesn't support the command in search mode, so that keybinding isn't possible.

    If you want to see that in the future, opening an issue at https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues would help.

    EDIT: https://github.com/bronson/vim-visual-star-search is implemented, so this functionality is now there.
