When I try to search for a word with the following
command
:/\<word\>/
the vim program stops at the :/\< and replaces the <
with a > and then
errors:
E486: Pattern not found.
I haven't found anything on google that speaks to this
problem. Can someone help me?
sounds like you have a command-line mapping bunging with your
setup. Does it happen if you start vim with
vim -u NONE
If so, there may be a real issue (though I can't duplicate it here).
You might want to check the output of
:map
:cmap
to see what sorts of mappings you have in place that could be
causing problems. You can then use "scriptnames" and "verbose"
to try and track down where the offender was established.
Whatever mapping you have, it appears to be quite an odd
one...perhaps something like
cnoremap <leader>> <lt><cr>
which is odd in my book. :-/
-tim
