Bill, I have a somewhat longer but (for me) more effective way to deal
with highlighting in VIM.
In my .vimrc file, I have this line:
map <F12> :source /home/eric/vim/hlsearch-toggle
Then, in the vim directory I have a script called hlsearch-toggle:
" number-toggle script
" Copyright 2004 by Eric Lucas.
" Licensed under the GNU General Public License
" See: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html
:if &hlsearch == 0
set hlsearch
:else
set nohlsearch
:endif
:echo &hlsearch == 0 ? "Search highlighting OFF" : "Search highlighting ON"
Now, restart vim. if you search, the highlighting will be on. Tap the F12
key and it's off. F12 again and it's on. Repeat as necessary :-D
Yes, it's nuts to copyright a 6 line script but I'm not seeking legal _rights_
under the GPL but legal _protections_. This, and other VIM scripts are
available at http://www.lucii.com/vim.html
I have shortcut keys mapped to scripts that toggle line numbers, scroll
binding and syntax highlighting. There is also a script to "cycle" the
line lengths (yeah, I write _WAY_ too much with VIM :-D ).
Hope this helps!
Eric
