VISUAL MODE: Search and replace in selected

Post date: Nov 24, 2011 1:35:52 PM

on select there are

'< start line 

`< start character 

'> end line 

`> end character

Imagine that you have visual region selected. so to replace press : and in command there is :'<,'> in command line already entered. So you should add to this s/<word1>/<word2>/g

or if You want to change in last selected region in Normal mode type:

 :'<,'>  s/start/end/g 

to search by only visual region you should in Normal mode:

:\%Vword1
