auto-hlsearch.nvim: Automatically manage hlsearch
Awesome! Is it like vim-cool but written in Lua?
-
How do you turn off the yellow highlighting after your done with the search?
I use https://github.com/romainl/vim-cool to do it automatically
-
How can I make searching for an empty string actually execute :let @/=""
You can try this plugin: https://github.com/romainl/vim-cool
- Good vim keymaps
-
What is the coolest, unknown(-ish) plugin that you're using that other people could benefit from?
vim-cool Not sure if there's an easier way to do it than having this plugin, but it disables search highlighting when you're done, and enables again when you search again. Makes me not have to use `:noh`
- set nohlsearch when pressing anything except n or N?
-
Call :noh command at InsertEnter autocmd
You may be interested in the vim-cool plugin, which uses InsertEnter and CursorMoved autocmds to automatically disable search highlighting after you're done with the search.

Disable highlight after searching something?
I have heard nice things about vim-cool
-

[nvim-hlslens] doesn't work
I've configured nvim-hlslens as https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-hlslens shown, using Minimal configuration, but I could not achieve what the other has shown in https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17562139/144654751-0d439610-b913-4e72-b473-e49db3317fab.mp4

search index
That's part of noice.nvim, but you could also use something like https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-hlslens to get a similar effect
-
Search with cmdheight = 0
kevinhwang91/nvim-hlslens might help with this specific problem
-
Command line search (/, ?) autocomplete
The plugin I found for this function is cmd2.vim: https://github.com/gelguy/Cmd2.vim, but this is from 2015, doesn't really support nvim, and conflicts with nvim-hlslens which I use.
-
search results: inline count + blink - a simple function
I do use nvim-hlslens to count search result occurence. What's hindering me to use your function right now is hlslens' integration with nvim-scrollbar
-
What is the coolest, unknown(-ish) plugin that you're using that other people could benefit from?
nvim-hlslens: shows indexed search using virtual text, better ux than vim-anzu and other similar plugins.

Zero width window issue with nvim-hlslens
I just recently discovered kevinhwang91/nvim-hlslens, and gave it a go. After a bit I encountered a very specific and annoying bug:
-
I must be missing something
nvim-hlslens: Humanized UI for search results with high performance, I'm the author.
-
[Help] show the full number of search occurrences instead of >99
Not exactly about fixing Vim's original match indicator, but from my experience, nvim-hlslens can show the total number of matches even if it's pretty big. I believe it's fine as long as the number is smaller than 100k.
