- eof 15y agoi used do similar; but not the notes; just random banging followed by an enter/escape. /daljfdlkja <enter><escape> now i don't use highlighting by default from: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_all_search_pattern_matches http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_all_search_pattern_match... " Press Space to turn off highlighting and clear any message already displayed. :nnoremap <silent> <Space> :nohlsearch<Bar>:echo<CR>
