Helix * and gr

* and gr

I learned two useful things in Helix today:

  1. You can use * then n to do a search for the current selection. Say you're in the middle of some word. Use miw to select that word, * to put it into the default register (/), and then n to find the next occurrence of it.
  2. gr is "go to reference". It pulls up a list of all the occurrences of whatever you're referring to. So, as in above you can select a word with miw and then type gr to open the picker where you can navigate through the list, previewing it. Pressing enter on one will take you to that position in the code.
