How to turn off highlighting after using search?

highlight, vim

Solution

The simplest way is to enter the `:noh` command.

Additionally, you can add this line to your `.vimrc` to map that command to the Enter key, so you can simply press Enter after searching to clear highlight:

:nnoremap <CR> :noh<CR><CR>

- vim clear last search highlighting

- A Vim and ViEmu mapping you really can’t miss - never type `:noh` again!

Problem

Search highlighting becomes annoying after I've found the target word by using `/string` in vim. Could someone tell me what is the quickest way to turn off search highlighting? Thanks.
