Highlight
=========
[VERSION: 0.1]
Builds a custom registry for manipulating highlights. In particular, I found it
necessary to search for different keywords without overriding previous searches;
that is, I wanted to be able to continue adding more words to a search without
having to keep track of which words I've already searched for.
["x]& Highlights the <cword> under the cursor
into register x.
["x]y& Sets the search register to the contents of
register x.
["x]d& Removes the <cword> from register x.
["x]c& Emptys register x. No patterns previously
belonging inside this register will be
highlighted.
["x]* Highlights the <cword> under the cursor
into register x. Moves to the next
occurrence of the <cword>.
["x]# Highlights the <cword> under the cursor
into register x. Moves to the previous
occurrence of the <cword>.
["x]g& Highlights the <cword> under the cursor, but
without forcing any highlighted occurrences
to be a word. That is, if the selected
<cword> is a substring of any text in the
current buffer, the substring will also be
highlighted.
["x]g* Works like ["x]g& but also moves to the next
occurrence of the pattern.
["x]g# Works like ["x]g& but also moves to the
previous occurrence of the pattern.
v_["x]& Note the v indicates visual mode. Works like
g&, but with the visually selected region.
v_["x]* Note the v indicates visual mode. Works like
g*, but with the visually selected region.
v_["x]# Note the v indicates visual mode. Works like
g#, but with the visually selected region.
v_["x]d& Note the v indicates visual mode. Removes
the visually selected region from register
x.
