As an aside, this can be simplified using the "inv"erse notation for any boolean setting, written as either :set invhls or :set hls! I use this regularly with 'list' to toggle between set/unset with ":set list!" which is documented in the help at the bottom of the :help E518 section. > But if I have consecutive matches, it is still not easy to see how > many matches there are.

To the best of my knowledge, I don't believe you can do this, especially in non-GUI vim -- character-cells don't have spacing, and if they did, you'd get gaps between *all* the cells in the highlighted range. The best I could come up with was to use the \zs or \ze token in the regexp to tell vim when to start/stop highlighting to omit the delimiting space/tab character from being highlighted. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
