Hi,
I have "another" solution for that problem: Do not search!
(No I am not kidding ... :) 8) ;)
The string is:
new_variable = old_badname_variable + some_other_variable + 7
The cursor is at the beginning of "_badname" (over _)
or at "badname" (over b)
Without entering the commandline with ':' type
ct<space>
for <space> type a space not the characters of '<space>'
then enter your repacement string
hit escape
If this does not work for you you can insert the following
mapping into your $HOME/.vimrc:
map <f5> :nohlsearch<CR>
then, after the deletion, simply hit <F5> and the highlightning
is gone until you do the next search.
HTH!
Have a nice weekend!
Best regards,
mcc
