Re: Is it possible to automatically identify the current line with [I?

Hello,

I apologize if this has already been answered but a search using "[I"
in the archive had zero hits, and a google search just sent me to vim
oriented web pages; I'm not sure if there is a better way to do the
search.

So, my question is, is it possible to do something similar to [I and
get a listing of all lines that contain the text under the cursor, but
where the current line is also marked?

For instance if I was on a line like:

Fee Fie Foe Foo

and my cursor was on the Foe, if I use [I I get something like:

300 Fee Fie Foe Fum
421  Fee Fie Foe Foo
449 The giant said Fee Fio Foe Fum
471  Fee Fie Foe Foo
523  Fie Foo Fee Foe

It is not clear which line my cursor is on, it would be helpful if I
saw something like:

300 Fee Fie Foe Fum
421  Fee Fie Foe Foo
449 The giant said Fee Fio Foe Fum
471*  Fee Fie Foe Foo
523  Fie Foo Fee Foe

so that I knew that I was on line 471 instead of 421.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Shawn

You can try  :vimgrep /<C-R><C-W>/j %<cr>
The command will search the word under the cursor in current file(% - current file). The results are in quickfix window. If you don't use the option 'j', it will jump to the first search result.

Then you need use :cw<cr> to open the quickfix window.

Or you can combine the two command together:  :vimgrep /<C-R><C-W>/j %<cr> \| :cw <cr>

Or map the command to shortcut, for example:
map  <F6>   <Esc>:vimgrep /<C-R><C-W>/j %<cr> \| :cw<cr>
