This command is in Vi, but Vim only simulates it:

                                                        *:o* *:op* *:open*
:[range]o[pen]                      Works like |:visual|: end Ex mode.
                                {Vi: start editing in open mode}

:[range]o[pen] /pattern/    As above, additionally move the cursor to the
                                column where "pattern" matches in the cursor
                                line.

Vim does not support open mode, since it's not really useful.  For those
situations where ":open" would start open mode Vim will leave Ex mode, which
allows executing the same commands, but updates the whole screen instead of
only one line.
