How can you list the matches of Vim's search?
:g//p
In its longer form:
:global/regular-expression/print
You can leave out the pattern/regex and Vim will re-use the previous search term.
Trivia: The grep tool was named after this command sequence.
You can also do a :
g/pattern/#
that will print the pattern you want and the number of the line.
if you want to look at this list and jump quickly between the matches, consider using
:vimgrep example %
or
:grep example %
This will populate the "error list" with all of the matches so that you can use :copen
to list them all in the quickfix buffer, press enter on a particular line to jump to that match, or use commands like :cn
and :cp
to go back and forth.
