I thought that a refinement of
:try | normal n | catch | n | endtry
with 'nowrapscan' set might work, but even that much didn't work for
me. I just got the error messages
Error detected while processing :
E385: search hit BOTTOM without match for: who
and the 'catch' clause was never executed.
did you try
exec 'normal n'
instead of
normal n
which eats the rest of your line, and if mapping, using "<bar>"
instead of "|"?
Just cleaning up your example...I too got the uncatchable E385
whether issued directly or <bar>'ed and issued as a mapping.
However, if I wrapped it in a function, it seemed to work:
function! SearchWrap()
try
normal n
catch
n
endtry
endfunction
nnoremap <f4> :call SearchWrap()<cr>
seemed to do the trick for me with 'nowrapscan' set. I'm not
sure why the E385 refuses to be caught by an in-line (<bar>'ed)
try/catch/endtry block. I even tried wrapping the "n" in an
exec, in case it was choking on the bar as a parameter.
Andy's reply just came in:
@Gary: a try block cannot catch Beeps from a Normal mode
command.
but I'm not sure (1) where this is documented, and (2) why Gary
and I were getting the E385 (an error, not just a beep) and it
still wasn't being caught inline vs. in my function.
Seeing Andy's solution, I like it better, but I'm still left
scratching my head a bit on try/except issues.
