Supercharge the native Neovim search and replace experience!

## :sparkles: Features

* Quick opening of `:%s///gcI`
* Quick opening of `:%s///` where `` refers to a
predefined selection under the cursor. Please see: [What are Special Selections?](https://github.com/roobert/search-replace.nvim#zap-what-are-special-selections)
* A UI to preview the current special selections under the cursor
* Quick opening of `:%s///gcI` where `` is a
visual-charwise selection
* Configuration of the default flags passed to search and replace, e.g: `gcI` when
searching across a buffer with `:%s///gcI`
* Support for search and replace over multiple buffers
* A command to search and replace over a visual-block/visual-linewise/visual-charwise
selection
* Example key mappings

## :movie_camera: Demos

Most of the following examples use `which-key` and `leader` key bindings but the available plugin commands can
be bound to any keymapping, for example replacement opening is bound to `ro` but could
just as easily be mapped to `` for faster access.

### Search and Replace

![Search and Replace](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/226654/210173887-45b157ef-eb4b-4a6e-9442-29f7010d3084.gif)

``` lua
ro # - open which-key 'replace' sub-menu, then 'open' a search
lvim # - term to search
example_replacement # - term to replace with
yyyynnyy # - since 'c' flag is supplied to search/replace, confirm which
# matches to search and replace
uuuuuu # - undo changes
h # - finish by disabling search term highlighting
```

### Search and Replace with Special Keys

```

## :zap: What are Special Selections?

With the following example text:

``` lua
lvim.builtin.which_key.mappings["r"]["w"]
```

And the cursor position shown as `|`

The following examples are `true`.

### CWord

`CWord` is replaced with the `word` under the cursor (like `*`)

``` lua
# Selection:
lv|im.builtin.which_key.mappings["r"]["w"]
^^^^^
# Value:
lvim
```

``` lua
# Selection:
lvim.bui|ltin.which_key.mappings["r"]["w"]
^^^^^^^^
# Value:
builtin
```

``` lua
# Selection:
lvim.builtin.whi|ch_key.mappings["r"]["w"]
^^^^^^^^^^
# Value:
which_key
```

``` lua
# Selection:
lvim.builtin.which_key.mapp|ings["r"]["w"]
^^^^^^^^^
# Value:
mappings
```

### CWORD

`CWORD` is replaced with the `WORD` under the cursor (like greedy `word`)

``` lua
# Selection:
lv|im.builtin.which_key.mappings["r"]["w"]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# Value:
lvim.builtin.which_key.mappings["r"]["w"]
```

``` lua
# Selection:
lvim.builtin.whi|ch_key.mappings["r"]["w"]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# Value:
lvim.builtin.which_key.mappings["r"]["w"]
```

### CExpr

`CExpr` is replaced with the `word` under the cursor, including more to form a C expression.

``` lua
# Selection:
lvim.bui|ltin.which_key.mappings["r"]["w"]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# Value:
lvim.builtin
```

``` lua
# Selection:
lvim.builtin.wh|ich_key.mappings["r"]["w"]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# Value:
lvim.builtin.which_key
```

``` lua
# Selection:
lvim.builtin.which_key.map|pings["r"]["w"]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# Value:
lvim.builtin.which_key.mappings
```

### CFile

`CFile` is replaced with the path name under the cursor (like what `gf` uses)

``` lua
# Selection:
lvim.bui|ltin.which_key.mappings["r"]["w"]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# Value:
lvim.builtin
```

``` lua
# Selection:
lvim.builtin.wh|ich_key.mappings["r"]["w"]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# Value:
lvim.builtin.which_key
```

``` lua
# Selection:
lvim.builtin.which_key.map|pings["r"]["w"]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# Value:
lvim.builtin.which_key.mappings
```
