It’s the opposite that bites - when I am on ns.foo, and I press star, I expect ns.foo/bar to match, and it doesn’t. Similarly, sometimes a keyword and it’s colon-less form (say in a keys destructuring) should match. Perhaps star is not the correct keystroke but I can’t shake the muscle memory :)

yeah, I don't run into this because I expect * to mean "the same token clojure would read, as a search" and I use / or ? for the others, typing in the substring

there is less known g* that searches for word under cursor but without word boundaries. So if cursor is on ns.foo it will jump to next ns.foo/bar

wow @nbardiuk thanks, you made my day. 10 years of vim later, just learned about g* now... awesome that's perfect
