Full Changelog: 1.1...1.2

1.1

What's New

• Display the total number of matches. This can be turned on with M-x customize-option visual-replace-display-total.
• Improved navigation between the field containing the text to search and the field containing the replacement:
  • TAB remember the position and goes back to it
  • C-a and C-e stay within the fields
• Commands that pre-fill the text to be searched now go directly to the replacement field
• The point stays where it was moved during preview. This is more consistent with isearch behavior. To go back to the old behavior: M-x customize-option visual-replace-keep-initial-position
• Automatically move the point to the first match in the preview.
• Improved handling of the text to copy into the search field with C-y

What's Fixed

• correctly transition from isearch to visual-replace by @Stebalien in #10
• avoid issues with the automatic key bound by visual-replace-read. Issue #11
• fail with a clearer error message when visual-replace commands are used outside of Visual Replace
• better deal with window configuration changes during preview

New Contributors

• @Stebalien made their first contribution in #10

Full Changelog: 1.0...1.1

• Apply the replacement at point with a visual-replace-apply-one or the mouse.
