The problem with this approach is that you can't cancel out of the
search prompt and expect to be back at the original cursor position.
Also, <C-N> is now lost for other modes, though you can fix that problem
using the new <expr> map (see below), but may I first suggest you try my
chcmdmode.vim plugin? I have the ^S at search prompt to do just this,
and I have a few more maps that could be useful for you too.
Now, back to improving what Benji suggested:
cmap <expr> <C-N> Next()
fun! Next()
if getcmdtype() == "/"
return "\<CR>/\<up>"
elseif getcmdtype() == "?"
return "\<CR>NN?\<Up>"
else
return "\<C-N>"
endif
endfun
You see, there is no temporary mapping involved, and you still didn't
loose <C-N> for other modes.
