a friend just asked me how, after searching for something in vim, to clear the highlighting. i told him i usually just hit / and then smash my fingers around on the home row for a bit[1], the result of which inevitably doesn't match anything. is there a Better Way to do this? how do most people clear the search buffer? </nori> [1] it was interesting to see how the results of this home-row smashing after switching from qwerty to dvorak -- now i get something like /sntaoheunti or /ntohanthi, as opposed to /sadjfklasj or /kjsdfkjahg :) -- .~. nori @ sccs.swarthmore.edu /V\ http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~nori/jnl/ // \\ @ maenad.net /( )\ www.maenad.net ^`~'^ get my (*new*) key here: http://www.maenad.net/geek/gpg/7ede5499.asc (please *remove* old key 11e031f1!)
