Description

I tried micro and I think like it - especially for using "today's standards" of key bindings.
It makes switching editors, environments and operating systems a lot easier. o)

On thing I missed:
How do you search/find text, which is currently selected (to easily find next occurrence e.g.)?
Is this not possible yet? Is there a key binding I can add (I did not find any) - any hints appreciated! o)

Thank you! o)

Research direction

Start by checking micro's existing search behavior and key-binding documentation for operations involving selected text. The issue names no files or tests, so first locate the search and selection entry points. Done means establishing whether searching the current selection is supported and, if not, defining the behavior and a way to invoke it.
