Feature request: replacement about vim-highlighter HOT 6 OPEN

Thanks for your interest in this plugin.
As for replacement, I mainly use the language server plugin function which supports scope based replacement. Sometimes, I use the following mapping in normal mode to replace the word under the cursor:

nn <leader>r  "ryiw:%s/\V<C-R>r\C//gc<Left><Left><Left>

To navigate through the selected text, you can use the * key to select a pattern, then use the n and N keys.

Thank you for responding.
What you propose are work-arounds.
My question essentially boils down to : is it possible to enter a minor mode in which the major mode key bindings are overridden.
In normal circumstances, i want r to perform single letter replacement, but when the cursor is on a highlighted word, i want to be prompted for replacement of all occurrences of the word.
