When I press # or *, the search pattern becomes \<WordUnderCursor\>. The word WordUnderCursor highlights on all windows except for the netrw window (where there is a file named WordUnderCursor.m). However, if I remove the anchors to the beginning and end of the word in the search pattern, WordUnderCursor becomes highlighted in the netrw window. I did not think that netrw redefined some setting representing word characters (e.g, perhaps isword) to include the dot in WordUnderCursor.m, and I confirmed that there is not isword option. > > How does netrw prevent \<WordUnderCursor\> from matching WordUnderCursor.m, and is there a way to prevent this prevention?
According to help \> uses &iskeyword, not &isword (in fact, I do not know such a thing as &isword). You may override it in .vim/after/ftplugin/netrw.vim, but you are likely to destroy syntax highlighting in this case and maybe something else. Note that word character definition is based on &iskeyword. \w has nothing to do with vim word definition, see :h word and *not* :h pattern. > > -- > -- > You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. > Do not top-post!
