DESCRIPTION The mappings, command and operator provided by this plugin search a range or the entire buffer for a pattern (defaulting to the current search pattern), and print a summary of the number of occurrences above, below and on the current line, e.g.:     1 match after cursor in this line, 8 following, 2 in previous lines; total 10 for /\<SearchPosition\>/     5 matches in this fold, 9 before, 6 following; total 21 for /endif/     On sole match in this line, 40 in following lines for /let/     :144,172 7 matches in this fold for /let/ This provides better orientation in a buffer without having to first jump from search result to search result. MOTIVATION In its simplest implementation     :nnoremap <A-n> :%s///gn<CR>     41 matches on 17 lines prints the number of matches for the current search pattern. This plugin builds on top of this by providing more context with regards to the current cursor position plus additional information. This plugin is similar to IndexedSearch.vim (vimscript#1682) by Yakov Lerner. USAGE :[range]SearchPosition [{pattern}]                         Show position of the search results for {pattern} (or                         the current search pattern (@/) if {pattern} is                         omitted). All lines in [range] (or the entire buffer                         if omitted) are considered, and the number of matches                         in relation to the current cursor position is echoed                         to the command line. <Leader><A-n>{motion}   Show position for the current search pattern in the                         lines covered by {motion}. [count]<A-n>            Show position for the current search pattern in the                         entire buffer, or [count] following lines. {Visual}<A-n>           Show position for the current search pattern in the                         selected lines. [count]<A-m>            Show position for the whole word under the cursor in the                         entire buffer, or [count] following lines.                         Only whole keywords are searched for, like with the                         star command. [count]g<A-m>           Show position for the word under the cursor in the                         entire buffer, or [count] following lines.                         Also finds contained matches, like gstar. {Visual}<A-m>           Show position for the selected text in the entire                         buffer.

install details

INSTALLATION This script is packaged as a vimball. If you have the "gunzip" decompressor in your PATH, simply edit the *.vba.gz package in Vim; otherwise, decompress the archive first, e.g. using WinZip. Inside Vim, install by sourcing the vimball or via the :UseVimball command.     vim SearchPosition.vba.gz     :so % To uninstall, use the :RmVimball command. DEPENDENCIES - Requires Vim 7.0 or higher. CONFIGURATION If you want to use different mappings, map your keys to the <Plug>SearchPosition* mapping targets _before_ sourcing this script (e.g. in your .vimrc):     nmap <silent> <Leader>,n <Plug>SearchPositionOperator     nmap <silent> <Leader>n <Plug>SearchPositionCurrent     vmap <silent> <Leader>n <Plug>SearchPositionCurrent     nmap <silent> <Leader>m <Plug>SearchPositionWholeCword     vmap <silent> <Leader>m <Plug>SearchPositionCword The highlight group for the report message can be set via     let g:SearchPosition_HighlightGroup = 'ModeMsg' To shorten the report message, the [range] and used search pattern can be omitted from the message; by default, both are included in the message text:     let g:SearchPosition_ShowRange = 1     let g:SearchPosition_ShowPattern = 1

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
SearchPosition.vba.gz	1.13	2010-10-08	7.0	Ingo Karkat	- BUG: The previous fix for the incorrect reporting of sole match in folded line was susceptible to non-local matches when current line is the first line.
SearchPosition.vba.gz	1.12	2010-10-08	7.0	Ingo Karkat	- BUG: Visual mode <A-m> /Plug>SearchPositionCword mapping on multi-line selection searched for ^@, not the newline character \n. - BUG: Incorrect reporting of sole match in folded line when the current line is empty and the pattern starts matching a newline character. - Using SearchPosition#SavePosition() instead ofVim version-dependent) mark to keep the cursor at the position where the operator was invokedonly necessary with a backward {motion}).
SearchPosition.vba.gz	1.11	2010-06-02	7.0	Ingo Karkat	Appended "; total N" to evaluations that excluded the match on the cursor from the "overall" count, as it was misleading what "overall" meant in this context.
SearchPosition.vba.gz	1.10	2010-01-08	7.0	Ingo Karkat	- Moved functions from plugin to separate autoload script. - BUG: Wrong reporting of additional occurrences when the current line is outside the passed range. - BUG: Catch non-existing items in evaluations that can be caused by e.g having \%# inside the search pattern. Warn about "special atoms have distorted the tally" in such cases.
SearchPosition.vba.gz	1.03	2010-01-05	7.0	Ingo Karkat	ENH: Offering a whole-word ALT-M mapping in addition to the former literal search (which is now mapped to g_ALT-M), like the |star| and |gstar| commands.
SearchPosition.vba.gz	1.02	2009-09-11	7.0	Ingo Karkat	BUG: Cannot set mark " in Vim 7.0 and 7.1; using mark z instead. This only affected the <Leader><A-n>{motion} command.
SearchPosition.vba.gz	1.01	2009-06-19	7.0	Ingo Karkat	The jumplist is not clobbered anymore by the :SearchPosition command.
SearchPosition.vba.gz	1.00	2009-05-15	7.0	Ingo Karkat	Initial upload
