Is there a command in Vim/Vi to move the cursor to

问题:

Are there any commands in Vim/Vi to move within a selected search segment?

For instance, if I search for a word, are there any commands to motion the cursor to the end of the highlighted segment? Say I have a word, "FishTaco" and I want to search for all instances of "Fish" and insert something after it. I know I could do a global replace, but what if I want to only make the change in a couple non-sequential instances?

I could see where it would be convenient to be able to motion the cursor to the end of the current highlighted segment to perform an action.

回答1:

You can do it with this:

/Fish/e

The /e at the end lands your cursor at the end of the search region (instead of the first character by default.

回答2:

If you just want to place your cursor after the last character of Fish then you could use

/Fish/e+1

which will place your cursor after the h. (Without the +1 the cursor will end up to the left of the last character.)

If you are particularly interested in placing the cursor after Fish, but only when it appears in "FishTaco" then you can try one of the following options:

You can use

/FishTaco/s+4

and your cursor will end up between Fish and Taco. The /s+4 places the cursor 4 places after the start of the search term.

You could likewise use

/FishTaco/e-3

which will place your cursor 3 places left of the left side of the last (end) character.

You can also use

/FishTaco/b+4 

because /b+4 will be treated as /s+4.

If you have already searched for /Fish, you can quickly change the search to go to the end of the match via //e, which repeats the last search, but appends the e modifier that has already been explained.

Once you have a visual selection, you can use o to toggle the cursor position between the start and end of the selected block. When the selection is line-wise this toggles the line position, meaning the cursor moves to the starting and ending line of the selection but not to the starting or ending character. When the selection is character-wise then the movement is also character-wise.

You can also use `< and `> to toggle the cursor between the start and end of the visual block, however this affects the selection itself, so it is used to reset or adjust the selection bounds.

Edit: Ah, but for search highlights this won't work, because o will initiate a line insertion. I guess search highlight isn't the same as a visual selection, sorry :)

/ long-regexp1 \zs long-regexp2 / .. cursor will stop at \zs, see :help \zs

The "cursor at the end of the match" part of your question is already answered.

You can do :%s/Fish/FishTaco/c. This gives you an opportunity to confirm or reject every substitution and skip the whole "cursor at the end of the match" business.
