How do you make Vim unhighlight what you searched for? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
:noh (short for nohighlight) will do the trick.
Solution 2:
Just put this in your .vimrc
" <Ctrl-l> redraws the screen and removes any search highlighting.
nnoremap <silent> <C-l> :nohl<CR><C-l>
Solution 3:
/lkjasdf has always been faster than :noh for me.
Solution 4:
" Make double-<Esc> clear search highlights
nnoremap <silent> <Esc><Esc> <Esc>:nohlsearch<CR><Esc>
