I'm a long time coder and still liked watching your video just for watching someone else work in emacs. How do you get emacs to highlight all occurrences of map? Was it a keybinding for "highlight-phrase"?

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! And like another person already responded, this is vim with a split pane where the right pane is a `:terminal` (a relatively new feature of vim... though prior to that I would have just used tmux).

Highlighting searches is enabled with `:set hlsearch`, and you can search for whatever word is under the cursor with ``. So I just type and it highlights all of the matching words. Nothing too magical!

Plausible deniability: It could have been Emacs pretending to be vim.
