Well, I found a way with mappings, but terribly ugly and breaks so much I'm too ashamed to relate it. How about, as a half measure, with :set cpo+=x hlsearch :cmap <f4> <esc>N/<up> so while typing your search, press f4 to have the search so far highlighted by the hlsearch mechanism? It has side effects, doesn't work well with ? searches, and I'm sure has other glitches. (Aside for experts: can vimscript tell, say in a function called by a mapping using <ctrl-r>=, or in an <expr> mapping, what the current command mode is? I mean ":", "/" or "?". mode() just returns "c".) Regards, John -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
