I suspect that's because the search command is saving and restoring
the cursor position. I was thinking that a way around it would be to
create a once-only autocommand, but I found:
1) BufEnter/WinEnter events aren't called when returning from /,
2) call cursor(1,1) doesn't seem to do what I wanted even when I
switched windows with wincmd w
3) I probably don't know the right event to use
4) I probably don't know the right way to define the autocommand
function! TT()
aug TT
"
"au BufEnter * call input('bufenter here' ) | aug TT | au! | aug END |
aug! TT
"au winEnter * call input('winenter here' ) | aug TT | au! | aug END |
aug! TT
au bufEnter * echomsg 'TT() bufenter'
au bufEnter * call cursor(1,1)
au bufEnter * aug TT
au bufenter * au!
au bufenter * aug END
au bufenter * aug! TT
au winEnter * echomsg 'TT() winenter'
au bufEnter * call cursor(1,1)
au winEnter * aug TT
au winenter * au!
au winenter * aug END
au winenter * aug! TT
aug END
endfunction
