Vim: `/` ignored after failed search

Created on 18 Mar 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: VSCodeVim/Vim

Describe the bug
@rishadomar reported it at the link but I couldn't find a separate ticket yet and have the same issue, so opening here. https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues/4577#issuecomment-595271474

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Search for a text that is not found
  2. Message displayed: E486: Pattern not found:
  3. Press slash

Expected behavior
Pressing slash again SHOULD have taken me back to search again but instead the key is ignored.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.13.0
  • VSCode version: 1.41.0
  • OS: Linux

This isn't exclusive to typing "/" after failed search, it's actually "everything" is ignored. For example, after you fail a search, try doing any of the following, all of these are blocked (and there's probably more):

  • / (start new search)
  • j, k, h, l (go down, up, etc...)
  • gt, gT (tab navigation)
  • ctrl+e, ctrl+y, ctrl+d, ctrl+u (scrolling/jumping down/up)
  • u, ctrl+r (undo, redo)
  • etc...

Very annoying bug, please prioritize it's fix.

Eeek I didn't mean to click on [CLOSE]. How can I un-close?

@rishadomar I think this is closed because the issue has been fixed (March 22).

Yes, it's fixed in the latest version.
