" Tricks:
"
" Pre-filled :substitute
nnoremap & :'{,'}s/<c-r><c-w>//gc<left><left><left>

" * and # without moving the cursor
nnoremap <Leader>* m`*``
nnoremap <Leader># m`#``

" My own attempt at a cleverer version of the above:
"   https://gist.github.com/AndrewRadev/4239736
nnoremap g* :call <SID>SmartStar()<cr>
function! s:SmartStar()
  let cword = expand('<cword>')

  if cword == ''
    echo "No word under the cursor"
    return
  endif

  let current_col = col('.')

  call search('\<'.cword.'\>', 'bWc', line('.'))

  let cword_start_col = col('.')
  let cword_start     = strpart(cword, 0, current_col - cword_start_col)
  let cword_end       = strpart(cword, current_col - cword_start_col)

  let search_pattern = '\<\%('.cword_start.'\zs'.cword_end.'\)\>'

  call histadd('search', search_pattern)
  let @/ = search_pattern
  normal! n

  echo 'Search for: '.cword
endfunction

" Return the cursor where it was when executing a .
nnoremap . .`[

" Same as above, but works with repeat.vim
runtime autoload/repeat.vim
nnoremap . mr:call repeat#run(v:count)<bar>call feedkeys('`r', 'n')<cr>
