Thanks a lot Tim! These mappings are much simpler, simply using Ctrl-R
to get the previous search value and the text beneath the cursor.
I like the second approach since the search is not actually made so
the cursor does not move, but it does mean search highlighting
is not turned on, which I found I missed.
I also realised I use this plugin to make * search on whatever
is highlighted in Visual Mode: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip171
So putting it all together these are the mappings I've got now:
nnoremap £ :let
@/.='<bslash><bar><bslash><lt>'.expand('<cword>').'<bslash>>'<cr>:set hls<cr>
vnoremap £ <esc>:let @/.='<bslash><bar>'.@*<cr>:set hls<cr>
The Visual one relies on the * register being populated with
visual selections, i.e. having 'guioptions' include 'a'.

Geoff
