If no matches are found then typing BS doesn't seem to have immediate effect. Looks like this is a simple matter of redrawing the line. I also notice that it interrupts the searching immediately and typing another key stops searching again, causing only a subset of the matches to be found. I'll try to fix that. -- He who laughs last, thinks slowest. /// Bram Moolenaar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org ///
