Re: feature request: post-search cursor placement

vim has a feature where you can specify where the cursor is placed after pressing 'n' to advance to the next instance of the search text.  for example, "/foobar/e+1" will search for the next occurance of "foobar" but place the cursor on the character following the 'r'.
"/howdy/b-2" will search for the next occurance of "howdy" but place the cursor on the 2nd character preceeding the 'h'.  I used it fairly regularly in vim... it'd be great to have it in ViEmu.

Re: feature request: post-search cursor placement

I'm considering this for one of the next builds, as I've already received several requests (possibly for 2.2, which I'll be working on during the next few weeks). Thanks for posting about it.
