'How to search and replace function for "vscode vim"?

i have tried but didnot find a way to search and replace in vscode with the vim keybindings plugin. The vim console doesn't take regular vims search and replace function :5,9s/foo/bar/g and vscode's default Ctrl+f doesn't work either as it is a vim binding.

If you want to use VSCode's default search functionality while using the Vim extension, you need to configure the extension .

"vim.handleKeys": { "<C-f>": false }

Check the documentation for more information.

Regarding the actual vim search functionality, I cannot confirm it not working. The example you provided works on my end.

Input:

foo
foo
foo
foo
foo
foo
foo
foo
foo
foo
foo

Running :5,9s/foo/bar/g results in:

foo
foo
foo
foo
bar
bar
bar
bar
bar
foo
foo

The extension "vscodevim" v1.21.10 does support regular vim search and replace functions such as:

:%s/"/'/g

I have VSCode with Vim, and for me Ctrl+Shift+H works equivalent to Ctrl+F without Vim. For returning back to the file, press Ctrl+Tab.

In VSCodeVim, many Ex-commands require Neovim integration.

Setup:

  1. Install Neovim
  2. Enable Neovim via vim.enableNeovim
  3. Set the Neovim path via vim.neovimPath
