Requires tpope's vim-repeat plugin. But at the time of writing it

has a bug, so I offer the following patched version: https://github.com/orlp/vim-repeat

This Vim plugin offers the following commands you can map:

    (QuickReplaceWord)

Start a quick replace using the word underneath the cursor.

Type your replacement and then use `.` and `n` to repeat the

replacement on other matches.

    (QuickReplaceSelection)

Start a quick replace using the current visual mode selection.

Type your replacement and then use `.` and `n` to repeat the

replacement on other matches.

    (StartWordSearch)

Starts a search (but doesn't immediately move to the next match)

for the word underneath the cursor.

    (StartSelectionSearch)

Starts a search (but doesn't immediately move to the next match)

for the current visual selection.

    (QuickReplaceWordBackward)

    (QuickReplaceSelectionBackward)

    (StartWordSearchBackward)

    (StartSelectionSearchBackward)

These all do the same as their above counterparts but search

backwards (like `#` and `?` do compared to `*` and `/`).

My personal mappings to use this plugins are:

    nmap  r (QuickReplaceWord)

    nmap  R (QuickReplaceWordBackward)

    xmap  r (QuickReplaceSelection)

    xmap  R (QuickReplaceSelectionBackward)

    xmap  * (StartSelectionSearch):call feedkeys('n')

    xmap  # (StartSelectionSearchBackward):call feedkeys('n')
