When I use incsearch, it is because I want to be able to see quickly whether my current search takes me where I want to go, so that I can hit Enter rather than continuing my typing. I think highlighting all of the matches would make that task more difficult since I would need to figure out which highlighted match my cursor may be on. So if the ability to highlight all matches is useful and gets added, I'd certainly like it to be an option to keep the existing behavior. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
