Hi all:
I've checked the post and I believe this issue was not covered
recently:
The search commands executed indirectly through a key mapping or
through a function call won't update the last_pattern_register "/ ,
only the history table is updated.
When I use :lv to build a location list for a symbol in all files of
the current directory I use these functions to further distinguish
them (suppose the symbol word is right under the cursor inside the
location list window):
function! FindType()
normal /\<^R^W\>\ze\(\s\{-}[&\*:(]\)\...@!
^M
endfunction
function! FindFunction()
normal /\<^R^W\>\ze\s\{-}(
^M
endfunction
function! FindIndirect()
normal /\<^R^W\>\ze\(\s\{-}&\|\s\{-}\*\)\...@=
^M
endfunction
and then map them to a few key strokes:
no \t :call FindType()
^M
no \f :call FindFunction()^M
no \i :call FindIndirect()
^M
Here's the problem: the result is neither highlighted, nor can I use
"n" and "N" to find the next match because these two commands also
rely on the Last_pattern_register "/ . Interestingly, the history
table is updated, but it seems that the only way to access it is to
type /<Up>
^M manually.
I mean, it's only a few key strokes I want to save, there must be a
way.
Anyone can help? Thanks !
