Had never used `*` before. Turns out it's search for the word under the cursor. Handy.

I guess that's basically what you wrote, but I had to play with it a bit to understand.



A bit of a tip: while `*` is a search for a word onward, `#` is a reverse -- a search for a word backwards. Might help sometimes
