Also.... after typing /mysting to locate mystring... this will take you to the NEXT occurance of mystring from the point of cursor.
If there are multiple instances you can just press / followed by enter again and it will repeat the last search. Keep pressing / enter - to go through the file looking for each instance of mystring. This will keep going and may "Wrap around buffer" which means the end of the file was reached and you're back at the top.
To get out of search simply do your next vi command. Usefully too.... the last search remains in place so you can find an instance..edit it or whatever...then simply press / enter again and the search will be done again.

MANPAGE(1) MANPAGE(1)
NAME
Launchy - smart search launcher utility
SYNOPSIS
launchy [options]
DESCRIPTION
Launchy is a cross-platform utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file
manager.
Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few
keystrokes.
Once Launchy has been started, it hides in the background. You bring it forward by holding the Ctrl and the Space keys. You can then type
in a few keys of the program you are searching for and hit enter once it has been found. You can also make Launchy dissappear again by
hitting the Escape key or Ctrl+Space.
Launchy allows you to add additional command line parameters to the selected launch. Simply hit Tab key once you have found the application
you are interested in and then enter the parameters.
When the input text area is empty, press the down arrow key and Launchy will display a history of the commands entered previously. You can
scroll up and down the list and press Enter key to repeat the command. Pressing Shift+Delete instead will remove the item from the history.
OPTIONS
-exit Attempt to close any running instances of Launchy.
-multiple Allows more than one instance of Launchy to be run.
-options Shows the options dialog.
-rescan Rescan the catalog.
-rescue Resets LaunchyaXXs position to the center of the screen and selects the default skin.
-show Shows Launchy's window (default is to launch hidden in most cases). Can be used as a way to active Launchy from a
shortcut.
If -multiple is not used and Launchy is already running, then the command will be sent to the running instance of Launchy.
KNOWN ISSUES
Not all skins will work with Linux builds of Launchy. If you're running a compositing manager (compiz or beryl) then the skins should look
the same as in Windows. Otherwise, you will have to settle for the skins that look good without alpha transparency (like Default and Black
Glass).
If the black area of mask.png is perfectly rectangular then, for some reason, compiz won't mask it correctly and you will have a strange
black section around the skin.
