## Message

```
Vim search */# without moving cursor initially (#46244)

The default behavior for Vim search with `*` and `#` in normal mode is
to initiate a search and immediately jump to the next or previous match
respectively.

This behavior can be annoying, so Vim has many plugins to address this
specifically:

- [vim-asterisk](https://github.com/haya14busa/vim-asterisk)
-
[vim-SearchHighlighting](https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-SearchHighlighting)
- [vim-tranquille](https://github.com/RRethy/vim-tranquille)

This PR tries to emulate this behavior natively keeping up with Zed's
sane defaults and deviating from vanilla Vim when it makes sense.


Release Notes:

- Vim: `*` and `#` search doesn't jump immediately to next / previous
search.
```
