Ahh, gotcha. Yes, that would turn off all syntax highlighting, and that's what I thought you were looking for.

Search for something else (ie /aslkalsjd), or turn search highlighting off with: :set nohlsearch -- // 2 _____________________________________________________________ // / \ \\/ / | What lies at the bottom of the ocean and twitches? | \\/ | A nervous wreck. | \_________________________________ __________________________/ Ewan Edwards {e^2}, e@xxxxxxxxxx |/ -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
