Re: Highlighting :g//

Hello Paul,

Excerpt from Paul:

I recently did the same. What i used was vimgrep, e.g.:
vimgrep /pat1\|pat2/ % | botright copen:

The copen part opens up the so called quickfix window. With that you can
breezingly jump from hit to an other AND get a nice overview of each line that
has a match at the same time.
Add a mapping for ':cnext' ':cprev' (aka next and previos match) and you can
move through the list.
