Hi everyone here, I'm just new to this mailing list.  I want to automatically disable search highlight when entering insert mode, so I add the command in ~/.vimrc but it didn't work. Does anyone know what I did was wrong?

As pointed out, :noh[lsearch] doesn't work in autocmds.  One common workaround is to do it from a mapping.  I have the following in my ~/.vimrc:

" turn off highlighting when refreshing the screen
nn <silent> <C-l> :noh<CR><C-l>

(nn = nnoremap)

Seems like overkill, but you could use:

for key in ['i','I','o','O','a','A','gi','gI'] " any key that enters insert mode
       exe 'nn <silent>' key ':noh<CR>'.key
endfor

Personally, the <C-l> trick works well for me, because I'm used to typing Ctrl+l to refresh Alpine.
