Add gn command #403

Description

@h908714124

Imho gn is important enough to be added in section "Search and replace".

gn                      Search forward for the last used search pattern, like
                        with `n`, and start Visual mode to select the match.
                        If the cursor is on the match, visually selects it.
                        If an operator is pending, operates on the match.
                        E.g., "dgn" deletes the text of the next match.
                        If Visual mode is active, extends the selection
                        until the end of the next match.
                        'wrapscan' applies.
                        Note: Unlike `n` the search direction does not depend
                        on the previous search command.
