Question

Is there a way to make something like visimatch.nvim for cursorword?

[echasnovski]

Although interesting, it would require completely different implementation route which would increase complexity too much. Besides, I don't really think that immediately seeing matches for visual selection is as common as seeing current word (which proved to me very valuable to spot typos quickly). And it will not really fit the "cursorword" name.

Usually I encounter the need for arbitrary matches only if I want to act on them: navigate, delete, change, etc. For that use case there is * in Visual mode: visually select and press *. I think this is enough of an alternative.
