Thanks Tim - is that to say that this functionality doesn't
exist in vim?
It doesn't exist exactly as you describe. You can highlight all
hits of the thing actually searched for (":set hls"), and you can
highlight the current word incrementally as you type the search
(":set incsearch"), but I don't think there's any native method by
which it will highlight all hits incrementally.
cool - just tried the method you suggested, seems to be a good
approximation of the functionality (it doesn't highlight the rest of
them until -enter-).
thanks!
