Description

Is it possible to perform a substitution expression in Vim normal mode (i.e. :s//)? When I hit ":" in normal mode in zsh I get an "execute:" input command but am unsure how to use it (hitting enter after my input doesn't do anything and not sure if this is the correct place to run this instruction in the first place).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check if the plugin supports :s in normal mode. If yes, provide the correct syntax and key sequence. If no, suggest alternatives like using zle widgets.
