Everything seems to work fine now, except the

normally are when I search
Whether or not search items are highlighted
depends on the value of the 'hlsearch' option.
The search item gets highlighted on my end when the
option is set. Is yours set?
:set hls?
This is quite strange, it is set, i.e.
:set hls?
returns
hlsearch
If I use your visual selection when I first launch gvim, then it works
with the highlighting. If I then use <Enter> to clear the highlighting
according to this line in my .vimrc that I gave before:
:nnoremap <CR> mz:nohlsearch<CR>/<BS><CR>`z
then the highlighting is no longer displayed as is expected.
If I then do
:set hls?
again, I get again:
hlsearch
but if I use your visual selection tool again then this time I get no
highlighting. Of course if I set hls again using :set hls then it works
fine again until I press enter.
So what I was thinking was just to add a :set hls at the start of your
function, then it should alway highlight the searched for items, however
I tried variations on including it but no nothing about scripting so
they didn't work, can you tell me how I should add it? I tried the below
but it didn't work.
Thanks,
