Sorry I don't understand. I currently have hlsearch in my _vimrc file so the search words are highlighted but I can't see the cursor and I don't know how to make it a black blinking square. Also in Unix Vi I was able to type a number and the letter l - lower case L (100l for example) and it would take the cursor to column 100. Is there a way to do this in Vim for windows?
I really appreciate the help! *Susan McElheny*Senior Analyst, Data Operations 703.536.0923 direct 703.536.0500 main [image: Travel Intel Logo] <https://www.mmgyintel.com/> On Thu, Apr 13, 2023 at 6:12 PM Gary Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > On 2023-04-13, Roy Fulbright wrote: > > >> On Thursday, April 13, 2023 at 4:15:19 PM UTC-4 Susan McElheny wrote: > > >> I've used the Vi editor on Unix for over 30 years and had to > recently > >> switched my software to Windows so I am now using Vim on my > c:drive.
