Introduction

------------

asterisk.vim provides improved * motions.

### 1. stay star motions (z prefixed mappings)

z star motions doesn't move your cursor.

### 2. visual star motions

Search selected text.

### 3. Use smartcase unlike default one

Default behavior, which sees ignorecase and not smartcase, is not intuitive.

### 4. Keep cursor position across matches

It is handy for refactoring to keep cursor position while iterating over matches.

Add following line in your vimrc to enable this feature. `let g:asterisk#keeppos = 1` Default: 0

map z*  (asterisk-z*)

map gz* (asterisk-gz*)

map z#  (asterisk-z#)

map gz# (asterisk-gz#)
