You can map a key to :nohlsearch :h :noh :noremap <Leader>h :<C-U>nohlsearch<CR> which is the usual approach. Or you can put the following in a script file and :source it (not deeply tested, but works ok for me). It will put the keys n and N in a special mode after searching with /pat or ?pat . cmap <expr> <CR> getcmdtype()=~'[/?]' \ ?
