Thanks for the pointer, I did not realize CmdlineEnter could be used in this way. It looks like this satisfies what I had in mind for / and ?. However, based on testing and reading the code, it does not seem to trigger on the other commands in 'search-commands' that might have multiple results, namely: n, N, *, #, g*, and g# . (Well, this makes sense as these missing ones are not almost-cmd-line commands like / and ? are..., but it is nonetheless a downside for me). If there is something I am still missing, please let me know. Otherwise, I would still like to have this feature in vim; it doesn't seem there is a good workaround. However, if the patch is still not desired, no hard feelings. Thanks, Genki -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
