Summary

Typing ) and ( to cycle the primary selection forward and backward
through selections is broken.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

  1. hx :tutor and followed the steps mentioned :
    ======================================================
    = 9.2 ADDING SELECTION ON NEXT SEARCH MATCH =
    ======================================================

Type ) and ( to cycle the primary selection forward and backward
through selections respectively.

Press Alt-, to remove the primary selection.

  1. Move the cursor to the line marked '-->' below.
  2. Select both lines with xx or 2x.
  3. Type s to select, type "would" and enter.
  4. Use ( and ) to cycle the primary selection and remove the
    very second "would" with Alt-, .
  5. Type c "wood" to change the remaining "would"s to "wood".

--> How much would would a wouldchuck chuck
--> if a wouldchuck could chuck would?

I expected this to happen: Cycling through selections.

Instead, this happened: Nothing.

Which theme are you using? This might be #3842 (#3842 (comment))

Indeed ! I was using acme with which there is no telling that cycling effects since there is no color differentiation.

However, the default theme has the same issue albeit the line over which cycling occurs has a different highlight. On a line though, selections remain uniformly displayed in the same color. Consequently, there 's no telling where cycling is at.

This is #3842 (comment) and #3842 (comment) offers an insight through tweaking theme configs.

Note : I believe that the default theme should reflect a change that provides a feedback of the cycling behavior to the user. A newbie (like myself) can't follow the :tutor guide explaining basic features without being left perplexed.
