Hi everyone here, I'm just new to this mailing list. I want to
automatically disable search highlight when entering insert mode, so I
add the command in ~/.vimrc but it didn't work. Does anyone know what
I did was wrong?
As pointed out, :noh[lsearch] doesn't work in autocmds. One common
workaround is to do it from a mapping. I have the following in my
~/.vimrc:
" turn off highlighting when refreshing the screen
nn <silent> <C-l> :noh<CR><C-l>
(nn = nnoremap)
Seems like overkill, but you could use:
for key in ['i','I','o','O','a','A','gi','gI'] " any key that enters insert mode
exe 'nn <silent>' key ':noh<CR>'.key
endfor
Personally, the <C-l> trick works well for me, because I'm used to
typing Ctrl+l to refresh Alpine.
