Hello,

I've been enjoying using leaf so far, but one thing feels off when I want to search for all occurrences of a particular string. It seems that leaf does not currently support highlighting all search matches as the hlsearch option in vim does. Thus I was wondering if that could be supported by leaf, preferably as an option in config.toml.

Best,

    Hi,
    I'm happy to hear you're enjoying leaf!

    Thank you for this suggestion! I've implemented it, and it will be available in the next release.
    No configuration is needed. All search matches will now be highlighted automatically in the search results.

    Thanks again for your feedback!
