If you don't mind highlighting the "key" too, you can just use /\<key\s\+\w\+ If you don't want the key and the space, you can use /key \+\zs\w\+ or /\(key \+\)\@<=\w\+ which both do the same sort of thing. I'm partial to the former method as it's a little shorter and easier for me to understand. -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
