It can probably be simplified by mapping <CR> in command mode and
check if getcmdtype() is '/' or '?' and, if so, call :match as
appropriate.
Hm, you of course need to know how you got /into/ search mode, so that
you only do this at the appropriate times. Setting a variable and
checking for it would work, but you have to make sure to unset it if
the command line is abandoned as well. We need
CmdLineEnter/CmdLineLeave and v:cmdexecuted or some such, so that we
can tell if the line was executed or not. Or perhaps even better:
CmdLineEnter/CmdLineLeave/CmdLineExecutePre/CmdLineExecutePost. With
the *Pre autocmd one can perhaps change the command line in some way
before executing it. With *Post one can do stuff after it, like
:matching. *Leave would be called when it is abandoned, although
perhaps the name suggests other cases as well?
Anyway, good night.
