vim-slash VS vim-cool

I changed most of the plugins I used for the mini versions, they are simple and lightweight and have a very simple configuration pattern. Thank you so much u/echasnovski for your work and dedication. Taking this opportunity, I would like to make a suggestion, a mini version of vim-slash, that automatically clears search highlight when cursor is moved in insert mode.

I just switched to using packer and recently added the plugin junegunn/vim-slash. I like the "auto clear highlight" but don't like some of the key bindings declared in the plugin. The plugin seems to be "done" so I can just fork it but I'd like to know if there's a solution for any plugin so I can easily keep my plugins up to date without having to manually merge.

romainl seems to recommend https://github.com/junegunn/vim-slash as a more complete alternative. Use whatever makes you happy.

There's also vim-slash

Obviously use / and * where possible. https://github.com/junegunn/vim-slash makes this more bearable.

You can use "*" for this if you have either https://github.com/haya14busa/vim-asterisk Or https://github.com/junegunn/vim-slash

https://github.com/junegunn/vim-slash This is useful as heck :D

Awesome! Is it like vim-cool but written in Lua?

I use https://github.com/romainl/vim-cool to do it automatically

You can try this plugin: https://github.com/romainl/vim-cool

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`

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.

I have heard nice things about vim-cool

romainl/vim-cool - Disables search highlights after using. Minor but nice.
