The built-in regular expressions of VSCode Vim conflict with those of Neovim.

[M-cloner]

When Neovim is enabled ("vim.enableNeovim": true), a conflict occurs between the regular expressions of VSCode Vim and Neovim.

The regular expression engine of Neovim does not support certain syntax such as \b, which is supported by the regular expression engine of VSCode Vim. As a result, even though the extension correctly displays the replacement outcome, the replacement fails due to errors from Neovim.

Alternatively, when using regular expressions that are valid in Neovim, the VSCode Vim extension may correctly display the replacement results but fail to execute the replacement.

We hope to fix the bug where the VSCode Vim extension correctly displays the replacement but fails to apply it.Additionally, we hope to have highlighted display for matched words,like neovim
