Next / previous keyword occurrence

copy mode

// what it does

After an initial / or ? search, n runs `search-again` to jump to the next match in the same direction, and N runs `search-reverse` to jump the opposite way. Together they let you step through every occurrence of a term without retyping it.

// shortcut

n
N

// gotcha

n and N are relative to the last search command: if you started with ?, then n moves backward (up) and N moves forward. They do nothing until you've established a search pattern with / or ? first.
