What about something like this:
(defun hi-lock-goto-next-highlight ()
"Go to char where next hilight is.
Search for the next property change where the `hi-lock-overlay'
property is set."
(interactive)
(let (found next overlays)
(while (and (not (eobp))
(not found))
(setq next (next-overlay-change (point)))
(when (not (eq next (point-max)))
(setq overlays (overlays-at next))
(if (and overlays (not found))
(if (not (overlay-get (car overlays) 'hi-lock-overlay))
(setq overlays (cdr overlays))
(goto-char next)
(setq found t))
(forward-char 1))))))
I seldom use hi-lock so I was surprised to find that no such command
already existed. Or does it?
