Issue type
- Bug report
Environment
Emacs version: 29.1
Operating System: linux
Evil version: 1.15.0
Evil installation type: borg (git clone)
Graphical/Terminal: graphical
Tested in a make emacs session (see CONTRIBUTING.md): yes
Reproduction steps
:%s/^/\#/g, do NOT press enter, see the preview result
Expected behavior
Shows substitution preview 0,1,2,3,... in each line
Actual behavior
Shows substitution preview 0,0,0,0,... in each line
Further notes
The final result (after pressing enter) is correct though.
This is a (semi-)intentional limitation: Currently the substitution preview only processes the part of the buffer that is visible. Showing an accurate counter would require processing the entire range, which could be bad for large buffers. I am not sure whether this should be changed.
