Highlight the whole match under cursor

[tuurep]

I've always been bothered with the inconsistent feeling with / highlighting and s highlighting, like this:

/ol

sol

I've solved this for myself with quite a tiny change here:

Would you like to get this added? If yes, we should probably:

1. Add a highlight group SneakCurrent or similar name
2. Handle the case of magic vs nomagic if needed
3. Allow to be used with an a:inputlength higher than 2 as well

Yes this makes sense. That Vim feature is fairly new relative to Sneak :)

[tuurep]

Ah, that's right, I already forgot that before CurSearch highlight group was added, I used a plugin to try to do what it does.

Hl group could even be named CurSneak :)

Would you like the default color for the new hl group to be:

• off, so people don't get surprises when updating
• "hideous magenta" or similar, to incentivize changing it to one's liking?

[justinmk]

on by default sounds good. I think for consistency the highlight name should start with Sneak*.

and instead of making it an option, we can just document how to link SneakCurrent to the main sneak highlight.

[tuurep]

Yes, to be clear by off I was thinking: link = "None"

I can start putting this together in a PR soon
