This looks like the colour of your cursor is the same as the selection/marking of the word that you search. Changing the colour of the cursor isn't that hard: * Find out what colorscheme you use. This might be in your .vimrc, but * can also be found with the `:color` command; * Open that color-file in ~/.vim/colors/ or alike; * J to the lines that define the colour of your cursor and change the * one for selections to a different value. You can use a colour value * that is used in another setting. Just try something that is completely * different, e.g. yellow instead of blue; * Preferrably save the changed color file under a different name. I * changed `nighted.vim` to `nighted_16b` for that reason. Set that new * colorscheme as your default. The new name prevents the customized file * to be overwritten at an update or so in future. (my '16b' has something * to do with the use of 16 colours in TTY). Hope this helps you! KR, //meine -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
