The help for gn and gN says that gn searches "forward...like with n" and that gN "searches backward, like with N". But when you do a backward search with ? instead of /, n moves the cursor backwards, and N moves it forwards. gn and gN do not behave accordingly, they continue to move forward with gn and backwards with gN. I think the behavior would be more intuitive if it accounted for the search direction like n and N, but at the very least, a documentation update is needed.
One more small inconsistency: When there is no previous search string, both n/N and gn/gN give an error message "E35: No previous regular expression" (ok), but in addition, gn/gN beeps (not ok, n/N doesn't beep). -- Andy -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
