FakeVim allows users to run Qt Creator's text searches through Vim keyboard shortcuts, which also highlights matches in bright yellow.  However, those bright yellow highlights remain on until the user resets the text search. 

Unfortunately running an empty search with FakeVim (i.e., hitting / <enter> ) is ignored and does not reset text search, which means that users are forced to resort to inconvenient workflows to clear the search field, such as:

• use the mouse to go through the menu "Edit" -> "Find/Replace"
• disable fakevim and hit ctrl+f

It would be nice if users were able to reset text searches by running empty searches through FakeVim with the command / <enter>.
