Using `/` to search: results are not highlighted as does `CMD+f`?

[Zongheng Yang]

Problem

I used / to search for a word but the results are not highlighted the same way CMD+f would highlight the results.

Any settings to change this behavior?

This is mostly about how vscode vim implements this. There are some customization you can do, see https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim.

For example: Setting vim.hlsearch to true allow vscode vim to search and highlight as you type.

Closing this as it is not related to this extension. Let me know if you still have any issue.
