Yeah, it's also the same in vim 6 and I thought the only standard behavior. But I understand the request. In any case, it will be a user setting (hopefully compatible with however it's configured in vim, and/or provided through standard vi/vim facilities).

In Vim 7.0 with incsearch set when I type /pat vim shows me the first match. When I hit ESC the cursor goes back to where I was when I started the search. When I hit RETURN the cursor stays on the first match. I think the ViEmu behavior is okay as it is.

For a moment, I was thinking that :cmap (which is supported in 2.0) would do the trick - but it would also kick while typing ex commands. Do you know of any other way to do it supported by a standard vi/vim facility? Maybe a vim :set option?

Hi again,

If I do a search from the command-line by type '/' and my regular expression, the cursor is positioned to the location of the first occurrence found. Nice! If I then press 'ESC' to quit the search, though, the cursor returns the location it occupied before the search. Could you create a viEmu preference that we can use to choose whether 'ESC' returns the previous location or stays at the latest occurrence? In almost any vi editor I have used in the past, ESC usually stays at the last occurrence and that is my preferred behaviour.

Thank you,
Darryl
