Am I missing something? I :set incsearch and still perfectly capable of using <C-r><C-w> while in the command line editing the substitute command (both for the search and for the replacement patterns). Here's a gif: https://i.imgur.com/E5YRwza.gif

Thanks Bram, Christian.

Hi, AS.

Indeed. As Bram wrote, when <C-R><C-W> are the first typed keys, the word under cursor gets inserted.
I am used to type "\<" just before that, to be sure to replace just "that" word. Typing "\<" before <C-R><C-W> doesn't work any more, the cursor will move to another location. But, as Bram wrote, I can type <C-R><C-W> right after typing ":s/". Then, using the arrow keys, I insert the "\<" before and "\>" after to specialize the substitution. That is fine to me. Works perfectly.

Thank you all.
