So there's a cross-reference missing between ':he /' and ':he incs'. How about this update: While typing the search pattern the current match will be shown if the 'incsearch' option is on. 'incsearch' also includes commands to auto-complete the search pattern. Remember that you still have to finish the search command with <CR> to actually position the cursor at the displayed match. Or use <Esc> to abandon the search. ...Stu -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
