This discussion reminded me of a suggestion to acme UI
I have been having for some while.
When you right click :/foo.bar , the mouse cursor
jumps to the next word matched by the regexp.
This jumping behaviour is a bit annoying if you want to
continue searching words matched by the regexp.
Can't we let stay the cursor on the regexp when you use ":/" or ":-/"?

Highlight the expression before clicking,
and then the cursor will stay put.

"Edit ?foobar" will work, though that's longer
than :-/foobar. Right click will only search forward,
unless you count wrapping around to the beginning
of the file as searching "backwards".
