On: Amp: Vi-like terminal editor written in Rust

[sullyj3]

The difference is the interactivity and instantaneous feedback. I don't want to have to blindly write a regex substitution when I could instead be seeing what is happening at each step, right in front of me.

Neovim gives you a preview of the result of your regex replacement, and with the ability to reference capture groups it's a pretty powerful.

Yeah, I'm a neovim user, and I enjoy that feature. There are just times when multiple cursors would be ever so slightly more ergonomic.

Vim also has it with `:set hlsearch incsearch`.

That doesn't preview the result of the regex, just the text that would be replaced IIRC.
