enabling auto_nohlsearch is conflicting with terryma/vim-multiple-cursors

[xu-cheng]

I found that if I enable auto_nohlsearch, I will have some difficulty to use terryma/vim-multiple-cursors plugin.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• Install this plugin and terryma/vim-multiple-cursors plugin.
• Enable auto_nohlsearch as instructed in document.
• Create a file with content foo foo foo.
• Move the cursor to the first character.
• Press * key. Now foo should be selected.
• Press Ctrl-n to start to use terryma/vim-multiple-cursors feature.
• Press Ctrl-n multiple times to select all of foo.

In normal case, all of foo should be selected. However, what I get in the buffer is:

incsearch-nohlsearch)ncsearch-nohlsearch)foo foo foo

Noted that disable auto_nohlsearch, the bug will be gone.

May I ask any suggestion to solve this issue? Thanks.

Can you try following mapping?

inoremap <silent> <Plug>(_incsearch-nohlsearch) <Nop>

Thanks. However, it doesn't seem to work for me.

Hmm.. I'm not familiar with vim-multiple-cursors, and incsearch.vim for normal vim. Maybe there are some hacks in vim-multiple-cursors.

Thanks anyway. I think this is a low priority bug as I can stand it for now.
