The third parameter to the search function (`:h search()`) is the last line
on which to consider a match, and it begins its search at the current
cursor position. So, the following should do what you want:
" ;; = jump to the first non-ASCII char past the cursor on the current line
nn <silent> ;; :cal search('[^\x20-\x7e]', '', line('.'))<CR>
" same thing, but slightly different concept of "ASCII char"
nn <silent> ;; :cal search('[^\x00-\xFF]', '', line('.'))<CR>
It also has the advantage of not messing with the `@/` register (hence no
need for `:nohls`).
