Under ":help +cmd" in doc/editing.txt, I think something should be added
or changed to mention that +/pattern positions the cursor, not on the
*first* line matching /pattern/ (from the top of the file), but on the
*next* matching line after wherever the cursor ends up after (at least)
BufReadPost autocommands have been run (I haven't tested BufWinEnter,
but I happen to have a BufReadPost autocommand to recover the latest
known cursor position, see lines 77sqq. of vimrc_example.vim): if the
cursor was previously on the only line matching the pattern, I get a
"search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP" message (fleetingly, but recorded
in the message history); that message doesn't appear if I use +1/pattern
instead of just +/pattern .
You mean "+0/pattern" instead of "+1/pattern", right?
I'd suggest to turn
+/{pat} Start at first line containing {pat}.
into
+0/{pat} Start at first line containing {pat}.
I used +1/pattern/ but the match wasn't on line 1. You're right, it
would skip anything on line 1. +0/pattern/ starts "before" line 1, so if
the match is on line 1 it finds it.
I suppose that +{num} +{pat} and +{num}/{pat} are only particular cases
of +{command}, since an ex-command consisting only of a range is a "go
to line" command, see the paragraph just below ":help gg".
Best regards,
Tony.
