I am using VIM 6.4 under windows and Linux. I do NOT like the hlsearch option so like to keep it off. I DO, however, like the incsearch so it is on in my .vimrc file.
Suppose you do the following: gg (move to the beginning) /<mySearchString> (Vim jumps to first occurance and highlights the matched portion) <ENTER> (Now the highlight is gone) n (jumps to next occurance) Now here is the problem: I have trouble IMMEDIATELY seeing the cursor as VIM jumps to the line which has the next occurance. What do I add to my .vimrc file to get VIM to highlight the matched portion of the next match in addition to simply moving the cursor to the next match? I do not like tip # 235. What I am looking for is that when I hit the 'n' key, VIM should move the cursor to the next match AND highlight it as well using, for example, the 'Search', or 'IncSearch', or the 'Todo' highlight group. As soon as I hit the 'n' key again, the previous highlight should disappear and the next one should get highlighted. It might even be better if the background color of the whole line get slightly lighter in case the search string is fairly small and simply highlighting the matced portion does not help much.
