You still have the problem that / always match after the cursor
(unless, of course, you explicitly use something like "\%#" in the
regexp, but that's quite impractical).

Oh, I didn't know "gn" what that clever. I've discovered it myself
last week or so, and haven't had time to really use it.

... a few seconds later ...

Trying it right now: actually it does select the match if the cursor
is on it, the next match otherwise. So you can map something like:

/<regexp><CR>``gn

which will select the match the cursor is on, if any. And you could
also add a bit of ":nohl" to make things cleaner.

Best,
Paul
