Hello,
By default, * searches for words: /\<stuff_below_cursor\>
but I would like it to search for strings: /stuff_below_cursor
One way is to use the following
map * yiw:let @/[EMAIL PROTECTED]<cr>
Is there a better way? ("/yiw didn't work.)
I found this somewhere in Vim tips:
"visual search
vnoremap *
y/\V<C-r>=substitute(escape(@@,"/\\"),"\n","\\\\n","ge")<CR><CR>
vnoremap <kMultiply>
y/\V<C-r>=substitute(escape(@@,"/\\"),"\n","\\\\n","ge")<CR><CR>
vnoremap #
y?\V<C-r>=substitute(escape(@@,"?\\"),"\n","\\\\n","ge")<CR><CR>
HTH :)
