My actual problem is what I wrote in my original post :-). I wanted to
know how I can check if :nohlsearch has been executed.
The reason for wanting to know this is that I have been looking for a
way to "Move to a pattern without destroying the last search pattern?"
in another post some minutes before I wrote the original post in this
thread. In this other post I also wrote some vimscript which (almost)
does that. Some minutes after I wrote that post it occurred to me that I
forgot to restore the search highlighting. But to do this properly I
would need to know if :nohlsearch has been executed so that I could
execute it again after the search. The problem of the "Move to a pattern
without destroying the last search pattern?" thread has been solved in
the meantime. Maxim Kim pointed out that I can use :call search('pattern').
But nevertheless I'm still curious if it is possible to check if
:hlsearch has been executed. If it's not possible than I think that
should be added to Vim. Vimscript should be able to query every part of
vim's state that is settable with vimscript.
Thanks for all your answers,
