+.. note::
+    The keybindings marked "see note below" work like this: if no text is
+    selected, the word under cursor is used, and *it has to match fully*
+    (like when `Match only a whole word` is enabled in the Search dialog).
+    However if some text is selected, then it is matched regardless of
+    word boundaries.
